Summary
Former U.S. Army 1st Lt. William H. Funchess, 89, reads from a Bible he kept throughout his 34 months as a prisoner of war during the Korean War, Sept. 21, 2016. Funchess was held in the same prison compound as Army Chaplain Father Emil J. Kapaun, who received the Medal of Honor posthumously in 2013 for his acts of courage and compassion as a prisoner of war. Funchess and Kapaun read from this Bible together on many occasions before Kapaun succumbed to starvation and disease. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Ken Scar)
