Loretta Swit, Jan Thompson and “Never The Same”

First Coast.TV got a chance to talk briefly with Loretta Swit and Jan Thompson about the film Never the Same: The Prisoner of War Experience.  The film brings to the screen an intimate and moving portrait, American prisoners of Imperial Japan during World War II reveal their indomitable will to survive. Starved, beaten, sick and brutalized, but always keeping a wry sense of humor, these amazing soldiers used gallows humor to beat the odds. Some of the men were artists, some wrote poetry and songs and many collected recipes. 

The number of men on the ship the USS Houston was over 1,000 and those who survived were 369. Thirteen remain as of March 12,2013, and Bill Ingram is one of them. Bill Ingram was among the audience and honored with other vets with a standing ovation.

Thank you, thank you to you all.
