Retiring Adm Denton Led POW Return to Honor Navy Service
Rear Adm Jeremiah Denton, famed for guiding American POWs home from Hanoi, announced his retirement from the Navy. In a staff college address he did not cite South Vietnam’s loss, but noted he began planning retirement as Saigon fell. Denton, 50, spent 7 decades as a POW, earned the Navy Cross, and may join Spring Hill College as assistant to its president.
