Larry Stark, flanked by Bud and Col. Tom on the left, and Doc and Spoon on the right, was the only 'civilian' P O W of the war. He was captured in Hue, 1968 and repatriated in 73. He was the welcomed guest of the Major. We didn't ask, and he didn't tell, just what 'civilian' enterprise had brought him to Hue.

Seen here with 2-2 is Rick Wilson. Rick is a Desert Storm Vet, and is Congressman Dan Burtons aid for Military affairs. Pretty cool that Congressman Burtons aid attended our little military affair.
