The U.S. Naval Academy will dedicate a bronze statue Friday in honor of academy graduate and retired Vice Adm. James Stockdale, a former prisoner of war. Stockdale graduated in 1947 and entered the Navy’s test pilot school.
While flying a mission over North Vietnam in 1965, Stockdale’s jet was struck by enemy fire.
