Retired Navy Admiral and former U.S. Sen. Jeremiah Denton has endorsed Republican Tom Rooney in the three-way GOP race for the congressional seat of freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney.
Denton, 83, was a Vietnam POW for more than 7 years. He gained international fame, and was later awarded the Navy Cross, for using his eyes to blink “T-O-R-T-U-R-E” in Morse code when his captors trotted him out for a 1966 TV propaganda appearance.
