About this ebook
The Heroes’ Wife is the story of Dora Smith Griffin Bell, who has been married to two heroes of the Vietnam War. Her first husband, a navy pilot, was shot down over Hanoi on Ho Chi Minh’s birthday, 1967 and captured. In this book Dora shares letters Jim Griffin wrote home from the war and her own experiences during years of hopeful waiting, only to learn at the end of the conflict that her husband had died just days after capture. After the war Dora married Jim Bell, another POW who had survived seven an a half years in Hanoi, and she tells about his experiences and his nightmares.

Dora studied journalism at the University of Tennessee and worked for several newspapers in Arkansas and Tennessee before settling down to life as a Navy wife. She also wrote a column for The Albany Herald in Georgia, and while waiting for her husband’s expected return from Hanoi she hosted a television talk show and was a “weather girl” at WALB--TV. Today Dora lives with her husband, retired Navy Captain Jim Bell in Alexandria, Virginia and most of her writing is limited to accounts of their travels to countries around the world
