Airman Giacomo Appice, United States Air Force, was captured on 14 June 1954 by Viet Minh soldiers near Tourane (DaNang), in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, and was held as a Prisoner of War until his release on 31 August 1954.
[NOTE: Although he is listed by DPMO as a Cold War Prisoner of War, it is unclear if the POW Medal was ever authorized or awarded in this case.]
