As seen on Sally Jessy Raphael - A love story that began 50 years ago and continues to this day...
Colonel Ben Purcell was shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese in 1968. His fate remained unknown to his country and family for five and a half years. "In a literal twinkling of an eye, my lifestyle changed from a person of some consequence to one in which food, shelter, and life itself were uncertain," Col. Benjamin H. Purcell, USA (Ret)
As the highest-ranking U.S. Army POW in the Vietnam War, Col Purcell was tortured and tormented both, physically and mentally, on a regular basis, yet remained unyielding in his devotion to his God, his family and his country. Love & Duty is not only an account of Col Purcell's experiences while in captivity, but the story of love between a husband and the wife who never gave up hope.
