FORMER POW REENLISTS

And talks about his three weeks as a POW. You may not have known that the Army even has training on how to be a POW - it is called "Code of Conduct training."

Obviously this Soldier paid attention.
Hudson says he survived by remembering the three stages to being a POW.

"Fellowship with fellow POWs, survive, and return home with honor," he cites. "That's what we knew we had to do."

Hudson returned home not just with honor but to celebrations. While Hudson struggled with the loss of his friends, his hometown rallied around his family...

Hudson, who reenlisted for two more years, received a purple heart, a bronze star, and POW medals for his service. He keeps in touch with all his fellow former prisoners of war from the 507th and says they all talk every weekend.
