Air Force Academy graduates, many who spent years as P.O.W.'s during the Vietnam War, were honored over the last couple of days at the Air Force Academy.  On Friday, April 24, 2015, a new sculpture memorial was unveiled at the Southeast Memorial Pavilion near Doolittle Hall at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.. The names of thirty-three graduates are displayed on the memorial. Bill Gauntt finds his name on the wall.  Nineteen of those P.O.W.'s came from around the country to attend the unveiling and ceremony. The raised sculpture of the memorial depicts a prisoner in ropes with his hand tied behind his back and giving the middle finger to his captors. (Jerilee Bennett/The Gazette via AP) MAGS OUT
