Re: Ex-POW Recives Posthumous Ceremony

Date: August 10, 2001

"Navy Medal Returned To San Diego POW
A special Navy ceremony Thursday morning honored a San Diego man who spent several years as a Japanese prisoner of war.

Stuart Thomas Faulkner was captured on the island of Guam during World War II. The Navy radioman endured several years in a prison camp before he was finally liberated in 1945.

Faulkner spent the next several decades continuing to serve his country, retiring as a commander in 1971. He died in 1993.

During that time spent as a prisoner of war, Faulkner lost a Navy good conduct medal that he had been awarded in 1940.

Recently, that medal was unearthed in a small rural village of Guam. It was returned to Faulkner's family Thursday as part of the special ceremony."
