Korean War POW Mike Dowe, Witness to Medal of Honor Recipient Fr. Emil Kapaun (Full Interview)

A graduate of West Point, COL Mike Dowe served in the Korean War, where he was captured and held as a prisoner of war. There, he witnessed the heroism of one of America's most beloved Medal of Honor recipients - Father Emil Kapaun. A decorated battlefield chaplain, Fr. Kapaun tended to the sick and wounded, procured food, and raised the spirits of his fellow prisoners of war. Fr. Kapaun would pass away in the prison camp. Decades later, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President Obama. And in 2021, his long-lost remains were finally identified.
