"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the presence of faith"
When his A-6 Intruder aircraft was shot down over North Vietnam on May 19, 1967, Red was captured and spent six agonizing years as a POW in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison. In the face of unrelenting barbaric and sadistic torture, McDaniel remained a source of hope and strength for his fellow POWs by clinging to his faith in even the darkest of hours.
"The one thing they could not take from me was my faith" says Red. "There were many times in my lonely cell when my victories were known only by me and God.”
For three years, Red was listed as Missing in Action while his wife, Dorothy, and three children, did not know if he was dead or alive. In 1970, the Hanoi government finally acknowledged that McDaniel was being held prisoner. After six years in captivity as a POW, he was released on March 4, 1973.
Recorded live in Washington DC in May 2017, this is their story.
