Former POW Nathan Henry Appears in Vietnam Magazine

Henry_Nixon

President Richard Nixon shakes hands with former POW Sgt Cordine McMurray at the State Department on May 24, 1973

In the latest (June 2013) issue of Vietnam Magazine, a photograph of Red Warrior and former POW Nathan Henry appears. The photo is part of an article which traces the beginnings of the POW HYMN.

Col. James Q. Collins, Jr. was the first choir director at the U.S. Air Force Academy so it was fitting that after being shot down and imprisoned in 1965 he helped form the first of several POW choirs. Collins, who later shared a cell with John McCain, penned the "POW Hymn" during a stretch of solitary confinement.

Oh God,

To thee we raise this prayer and sing, from within the foreign prison walls,

We're men who wear the gold and silver wings, and proudly heed our nations's call,

Give us strength to withstand all the harm that the hand of our enemy captors can do,

To inflict pain and strife and deprive every life but the rights they know we are all due, We pledge unswerving faith and loyalty to our cause, America and thee.

Amen
