Jeannette native, Vietnam POW offers inspiration for fellow veterans

Dave Carey, a Jeannette native and Navy pilot during the Vietnam War, inspires an audience on Friday, Oct. 25, 2019, at the Ramada by Wyndham Greensburg Hotel and Conference Center by recounting how he endured more than five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.

Dave Carey played a make-believe piano and recalled everything from Biblical passages to the early 20th-century poem “The Highwayman” to stay sane during more than five years as a prisoner of war held by North Vietnamese captors beginning in 1967.
