My heart was filled with joy. Two of the POWs road my ejection seat when there aircraft was shot down. I just wish the war had turned out better.
I'm sad for the ones who didn't come back.

I ran phone patch calls home for a bunch of them while they were on board the MAC Airevac C141s enroute to Clark. Best thing I've ever been involved in.
