In the past two years...
...Throughout his testimony, Jenkins sought forgiveness from American servicemen who did not run from duty, as he had. In his written testimony, Jenkins called the North Korean government "evil" and Kim Jong Il "evil to the bone." As he read for Jenkins, Culp himself shed a tear as he read the line, "I want the world to know that I still love the United States."
