Lieutenant (junior grade) Porter Halyburton’s plane was shot down sixty miles north of Hanoi in 1965. While imprisioned, Halyburton received a pair of red socks in the first care package from his wife in 1969. They were used as socks, gloves, and even Christmas stockings before Porter finally made them into a “dickie,” or a fake turtleneck, to keep his neck warm.
