Gerald Coffee

One of the longest-held Vietnam POWs, Coffee was captured after his plane was downed by enemy fire during a reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam. For the next seven years, he survived the horrors of the now-infamous Hanoi Hilton. As a returned Prisoner of War, Captain Coffee's message focuses not upon the horrors of his incarceration, but upon the positive lessons learned by himself and other Americans held captive. His faith in himself, his fellow man, his country, and his God was the key to his survival, and can be for all each day, today and tomorrow.

In using his incredible experiences as a vehicle, Captain Coffee leads his audience through laughter and through tears, and ultimately to the affirmation that we are all so much stronger and more capable than we give ourselves credit for, and we each have the potential to survive any ordeal, overcome . . .
