Boulder Crest Foundation proudly honors the American prisoners of war who endured captivity at the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” during the Vietnam War. These men not only endured extraordinary suffering but also came home stronger, demonstrating what we now call Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) — the transformative process of growing because of struggle. Against all expectations, these POWs returned with remarkably low rates of PTSD, confounding experts at the time, and underscoring how hardship –– when faced with courage and community –– can forge strength and facilitate lifelong growth.
