Army Private Wayne “Johnnie” Johnson, age 18, became a POW with 700 others in North Korea named “The Tiger” for 3 years, 3 months and 19 days he recorded every name that died. His list was ignored until 1996 when Army Sgt. Victoria Bingham discovered it. Now they’re coming home.
When Johnnie was released all soldiers had to sign an agreement to not discuss how horrible they’d been treated and “his list” was considered propaganda. Though he’d risked his life, he was ignored when and remained haunted until Brigham came.

Bringham rallied for Johnnie to be recognized and he was finally given the Silver Star.
