politician United States

Jeremiah Denton was a distinguished United States Navy veteran known for his remarkable resilience as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. Born in Alabama, he served as a naval aviator and spent eight years in captivity, where he famously signaled the word 'torture' in Morse code during a televised interview. His bravery earned him the Navy Cross, and after his military career, he went on to serve as a U.S. Senator for Alabama. The USS Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), a new guided-missile destroyer, was recently named in his honor, symbolizing the legacy of his strength and sacrifice.
