Kurt Muse

Kurt Muse, an American citizen, grew up in Panama with a deep love for his adopted country. His patriotic activities led to his imprisonment in the notorious Modelo prison in Panama City. As his hope for survival grew dim, he became the first civilian ever rescued by the elite Delta Force. Now reunited with his loved ones, he lives in Fairfax, Virginia. An exhibit at the Airborne and Special Operations in Fayetteville, North Carolina, commemorates his ordeal and the heroism of his rescuers.
