Ambassador Laingen (1922-2019) was an incredibly brave man and it was a great honor to have known him. He was the most senior diplomat at US Embassy Tehran when "students" overcame Embassy guards and held Americans hostage for 444 days. I highly recommend his book "Yellow Ribbon: The Secret Journal of Bruce Laingen." RIP
