fact that they were tried and tested under the most difficult circumstances. we had some remarkable leaders they are. senator mccain has mentioned them earlier and they were. thamte fe,all the way o. ju oernhm nd not ant much. i was there five years, four months in two weeks. sounds like a long time. varez who is your it o u d tavauisons hepiwae es pow eight years six months he has had such a remarkable x. in the year sense. i wou love to hav mta the'hewse us tonight, several that i haven't seen in a while. one that i want to mention

2:39 pm
especially the first winter. cember was so hot we had heat rash and sometimes they didn't get a ticket that get cleaned up and th was not ectly u ouyad tbl ju fthejon and capture like senator mccain. he was probably the most series ventured above us. and he came home withhon. he tmeerl i the book and the great curry cheese showed by stanek coming home for the rest of us. thod wasn't great the pow situation wa always tortured going on in some camps and a solid chance at any one ime
2:40 pm
yet hfove iel you this not because we want pityecause that's the last thing ws want. i'm telling you this becuse i want you to consider the leadership in a situation like thsmfrt erveg under the gun every day, that you could look at and really, i think i'll are some great great lessons about leadership. we were able to endure great ur hgrt leadership well-trained and we were well read trains. we had commitment to each other. there's noeter example time buc,o force captain. john had been tortured, had been
2:41 pm
on bread and water. he wouldn't give tm the statement they wanted. he was tortured. he final gave hsoe a pum icewi no food because they wanted to break a little more. percy found out about it. he sent the message by tapping on the door d aid telhn bkia o john didn't know what to expect. but during siest that day, on the cards, not all the cards, but all the curt ceer and take a nap in tes john heard something rattling around in the ceiling and all of a sudden his sleigh pulled drop-down and there is a grinning person who through the barbedire in h ttc d was
2:42 pm
ton and their lives in bread that we got to meet and dropped it down for john to eat. that's the support and teamwork had in thep siuti as powerful. and the lessons we brought home a pass, that legacy we took a massive military leadership leadership and mility honor, that less than is important today foral ladersner sble fo country today. we need a revival of that kind of leadership with honor and we can have it. but there's a couple of things it takes. it take ac. in ho, herwo s guard your character and i share a story of someone who did. it takes courage because to do
2:43 pm
the right thing and to do the honorable thing is t easy. it's very difficult. it's painful. u ha to lean intot n yowars. i've been a leadership consultant for 15 yars. i know everyone has doubts and fears and that this was not done into dictatorships fall some problems andcas o h, hao wh going on to know what's right. and sometimes you have to back up and get council. senar mccain remembers how we had some tough argument and diussion abut things, lie shouldgoa eri d ldw have -- what do we call that? in writing moatorium. we have to have discussions about that. and tn the decision w mad an'll fow ptcs
2:44 pm
sute. itesotcoe make those kinds of tough decisions. that is what we need today. from the pta to the high school principal, from the shop steward counlto bbungity whhuwe need leaders who will lead with honor by having the courage to do what they know is right to do. whether it hurts or not. no plause]di andgnl, it sounds easy because we all assume we have good character and will do the right thing. i'm telling you, it is not easy. i would like to close wi polling from one heat mo ofale ses h world, "lord of the rings," return of the king. and the trailer comes on the screen an
