CAPTURED AND CONFINED

Captured on November 2, 1950, by North Korean-Chinese Soldiers, Father Kapaun was confined at Prison Camp #5, Pyoktong, North Korea until his death, at the hands of his captors, on May 23, 1951. Granted the title of “Servant of God” by the Catholic Church Father Kapaun is the Most Decorated Chaplain in US military history.

In April of 2013, President Obama awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for Father Kapaun.
