Description

Glory Denied: The Saga of Jim Thompson, America's Longest-Held Prisoner of WarHe was Born in New Jersey in 1933 and only dreamed of being a military man. Marrying shortly after high school, he joined the army in 1956 and was dispatched to Vietnam in 1963 when America still seemed innocent. Jim Thompson would have led a perfectly ordinary, undistinguished life had he not been captured four months later, becoming the first American prisoner in Vietnam and, ultimately, the longest held prisoner of war in American history.

He was Born in New Jersey in 1933 and only dreamed of being a military man. Marrying shortly after high school, he joined the army in 1956 and was dispatched to Vietnam in 1963 when America still seemed innocent. Jim Thompson would have led a perfectly ordinary, undistinguished life had he not been captured four months later, becoming the first American prisoner in Vietnam and, ultimately, the longest-held prisoner of war in American history. Forgotten Soldier is Thompson's epic story, a remarkable reconstruction of one man's life and a searing account that questions who is a real American hero. Examining the lives of Thompson's family on the home front, as well as his brutal treatment and five escape attempts in Vietnam, military journalist Tom Philpott weaves an extraordinary tale, showing how the American government intentionally suppressed Thompson's story.

Pretty good
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
I like these because they're reduced sugar . You still get your electrolytes and they have a good mixed fruit flavor. I been buying these alot lately I like the rain berry most. It's a good deal here on Amazon and it hydrates better than water alone . They have a few flavors to choose from in this line so there's def variety.

Love the Fruit Punch Flavor!
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This fruit punch flavor diminished the overly sweet stevia taste. In addition to hydrating after activity, I use it as a low calorie sweet treat. I don't use artificial sweeteners. I drink still and sparkling water but I enjoy a sweet drink too.

Not to shabby
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
It’s OK the taste is better than G2 but worse than regular Gatorade. I wish they had more flavor variety, but I like that the sugar content is lower and you’re still getting all of the beneficial ingredients like the electrolytes. They are packaged well in nice bottles that don’t leak but are still easy to open overall I like them just wish they could find a way to make the flavor a little more potent so it doesn’t taste like regular Gatorade that’s been watered down.

Great taste without the sugar overload
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
picked up a pack of Gatorade’s lower sugar drinks and honestly wasn’t expecting much, but they surprised me. The flavor is still really good—doesn’t taste watered down like some “light” drinks do—and it’s not overly sweet, which I actually prefer. You still get that classic Gatorade taste and the electrolytes, just without all the sugar overload. It’s a solid option if you’re trying to cut back but still want something refreshing after work, workouts, or being outside. Overall, it hits a nice balance between taste and being a little healthier. Definitely something I’ll keep buying. Wish they had more flavors available
