Retired Navy Capt. Gerald Coffee re-enacts a time when he taught a new prisoner how to communicate via tapcode while visiting Wounded Warrior Battalion West — Detachment Hawaii, March 27, 2013. Coffee, a former prisoner of war who was held captive in Hanoi for seven years, has spoken to many audiences and written a book about his experiences. He and retired Navy Capt. Jim Hickerson, also a former prisoner of war, were invited to speak to the wounded warriors on the 40th anniversary of their release from Hanoi (Coffee in February 1973, and Hickerson in March of 1973).
