While a POW, Nick nursed nineteen POWs, brought in by the North Korean Army, and saved thirteen by spoon-feeding, bathing, listening and comforting them—a task that no one else wanted or would do. He gave his food to fellow POWs and hand made moccasins for those soldiers with frost bitten feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring repatriation at Freedom Village, General McCall Pate, commander of the 1st Marine Division, was so impressed by words spoken about Nick that he summoned Nick over to sit next to him.
