He was stationed at the province just south of the DMZ. Gostas was working late at his office in Hue City when he heard gunfire. It was the beginning of the North Vietnamese Tet Offensive. Gostas was captured and spent over 5 years in a North Vietnamese POW camp. Ted Gostas recently passed on. In his honor we are re-broadcasting his interview.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
