Driscoll has passed<\/a> at the tender age of 75 years after a 6-year battle with Primary Lateral Sclerosis, a slower acting form of ALS. Just a few years after his graduation from the Air Force Academy, he punched out of his damaged F-105 Thunderchief  over North Vietnam on April 24, 1966. After his capture, he was released 2,487 days later on February 12, 1973. He went on to retire from the Air Force on July 1, 1987. He immediately went to work for American Airlines, retiring in 2000. He, then, went to work for NetJets Aviation until 2009 when he finally retired.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=64550\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-64550\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Driscoll-awards-266x300.jpg\" alt=\"Driscoll awards\" width=\"266\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-64550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Driscoll-awards-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Driscoll-awards-296x333.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Driscoll-awards.jpg 373w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick and Bobo send us links to the sad news that Colonel Jerry D.
