Abigail Spanberger: “U.S. army Staff Sergeant Mark Stets Jr. Of Virginia Beach…”

“During the Korean War, US Army Corporal Theodore Landy of Nofok was taken prisoner by North Korean forces and marched to a camp on the banks of the Yalu river, where he later perished from malnutrition. He, too, was never brought home. And finally, U.S. army Staff Sergeant Mark Stets Jr. Of Virginia Beach served for more than 20 years in the military, and after the September 11 attacks, he served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and later two deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He worked in army psychological operations, work that required civilian clothes and quiet courage in places that never made the news.” (07:07–07:52)
