Lt. Lance Sijan's story is one of unparalleled courage, resilience, and sacrifice. After ejecting from his disabled F-4 Phantom over enemy territory, he endured unimaginable injuries, starvation, and relentless hardships for 46 days in the jungle, refusing to surrender. Captured by the North Vietnamese, he continued to resist, uphold the military code of conduct, and inspire those around him, even in his final days. His unwavering determination and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds earned him the Medal of Honor, making him a symbol of the warrior spirit.
