A Small Spark - An Interview with Lt. Col. Barry Bridger - Spirituality Adventures
from Spirituality Adventures · host Fred Herron
In this podcast episode, I interview US Air Force fighter pilot, Lt. Col. Barry B. Bridger. At the age of twenty-seven, Barry was shot down over Hanoi, North Vietnam, right into the arms of American enemies. As a prisoner of war in the “Hanoi Hilton” for six and a half years, Barry refused to disclose US military secrets—a choice which earned him ongoing torture. To survive, he and his comrades sacrificed for one another, used their minds for entertainment, found novel ways to communicate, and held true to the values they had adopted earlier in their lives. Lt. Col. Barry Bridger is a true American hero whom I am honored to call a friend. He is a deep well of wisdom and humor.
