Former U.S. Army 1st Lt. William H. Funchess, 89, who endured 34 months as a prisoner of war during the Korean War, describes how he fired and M1 carbine rifle as he and his platoon fought until they were overwhelmed and taken captive by Chinese soldiers, Sept. 21, 2016. Funchess was held in the same prison compound and became very close to Army Chaplain Father Emil J. Kapaun, who received the Medal of Honor posthumously in 2013 for his acts of courage and compassion as a prisoner of war. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Ken Scar)
