POWs Secretly-Made Sign Shocks Officials in Vietnam
Captain Galand D. Kramer, a POW since 1966, waved a handmade blue-lettered sign reading God bless America and Nixon at Hanoi and Clark Air Base. The gesture, crafted on a white handkerchief with blue pigment, was an expression of faith amid release celebrations, while Kramer faced personal strain from a 1972 Tulsa divorce and ongoing health recovery.
