Brian Shul, shot down in Southeast Asia, barely survived, went on to fly the SR-71; Fantastic presenter, well worth the 52 minutes:

He spoke at the Short Wing convention a couple of years ago. His story is pretty inspirational. And he has some awesome pictures.

Sierra Hotel! That was very enjoyable. Years ago at a Commander's Call, our squadron CO invited another Colonel to speak. LTC Robert Smith spent a number of years as a POW in N. Vietnam. Fantastic and amazing speech. If you ever have an opportunity to listen to one of these heroes, do it, you won't regret it.

The only presentation I have seen in person that is better than this was Captain Al Haynes. United 232. Saw him twice.
