I have often wondered what became of them after being liberated. The look so happy on the freedom flight, but did they lead happy lives?

Interesting share. From when I became old enough to vote in January or 1970 through 2007 I was a registered Democrat and last voted in a Democratic primary in 2012. In 1980 I was a Jimmy Carter delegate to the Washington State Democratic Convention. But I was damn proud to vote for Richard Milhous Nixon for election as MY President in 1972 -- four an half months after the Watergate break-in and arrests. And I'm still pissed off over his being forced out of office, leaving us with that POS Gerald Ford. Argue and ridicule me all you want, but I feel that Nixon was, beyond compare, the best President of the United States in my 71 year lifetime -- based on what I hope to see in a President. Salute to the POWs!

TSgt David L. - I always looked at him for what he did for veterans. Other things matter to me, but not as much as those things that directly affect my family, other I care about (my fellow veterans) and me. He pushed through VA Disability Compensation pay raises that exceed the increases in the cost of living increases. And every COLA over the past 50 years has multiplied that money. Without him, every disability check to every veteran today would be a few dollars smaller. Nixon was my boy. Screwing over other politicians -- like that would mattered to me -- NOT!
