BARTENDER IN BILLINGS ASKED TWO STRANGERS TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER GRANDFATHER—THE ANSWER TOOK THEM TO DECLASSIFIED CIA FILES

Private First Class Floyd Stapp Survived 27 Months as a Korean War POW—Then Came Home to a War No One Could See

BILLINGS, MT – She slid two beers across the bar. “These are on me,” Shania Stapp said. “The next round is on you.”

Then she took a breath.

“I have a story. My grandfather. He was a POW in Korea. He killed himself before I was born. All my life, I’ve known he was troubled. But I don’t know the details.”

Shania had an eight-year-old son—Floyd Stapp’s great-grandson. She wanted him to know that his great-grandfather was more than his pain.

The Van of Valor team went to work. They found declassified CIA records. They uncovered the brutal reality of Camp 1, where Floyd Stapp endured twenty-seven months of captivity—systematic torture, political indoctrination, starvation rations described as “watery soup laced with sawdust.”
