Heidi Harris Show Podcast #320: Guest, Heroic Vietnam Fighter Pilot Don Harten!

FROM MY ARCHIVES: Not many people can say that they’ve survived TWO plane crashes in one day. Don Harten’s incredible story of surviving a collision between two B-52’s and another crash of the plane that picked him up, is one for the ages. I recorded this interview with Don a few years ago, when I was planning a different project, but it’s from my archives and I wanted to share it. He’s a hero, but he’ll never admit it. This was recorded in 2015. He’s still doing great, in 2022!

More info on Don from the Huffington Post of all places.

His book “Arc Light One” is great reading.

Heidi Harris Show Podcast #206: Former POW’s Alcorn and Long on their captivity

In honor of Memorial Day and the amazing people who gave so much for our freedom, here’s an interview I did with a couple of men who’d been captured and held in Hanoi for 5 and 7 years, respectively. Major Steven Long, USAF, and Captain Ray Alcorn, USN, were kind enough to sit with me and discuss their captivity, and what they think of the anti-war movement and politicians who interfere with military objectives.

They’ve both passed on in recent years, but they both represented the very BEST of what America has to offer.
