Lance Sijan is a remarkable hero from a remarkable family! Not only was he a dedicated pilot, he was an example for the efforts for escape and evasion for all services. He overcame personal suffering to save people - those with whom he served, those who tried to rescue him, and those future Americans to come. It is fitting that a part of the Air Force Academy is named for this, the only Air Force Academy grad so far to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. It is important to note that he was re-captured at one point before his final capture in December 1967. When his wounds and physical condition are considered, his survival and sheer will were nothing short of miraculous and exemplary!

I am proud of you, Let God bless your soul , Christian USA and Serbia! Rest in peace my dear brother!

rest in peace, sir...
