Prisoner of War Frederick Friend Returns to America
Frederick J. Friend, 24, of Elmira Kansas, liberated after three and a half years as a prisoner of war, kneels on free soil and thanks God as thousands cheer. He is greeted by the Governor, the Mayor, his wife Felicia, and their son, with the President offering praise and an invite to the White House. He recalls endurement, food, boredom, and the belief in a just cause, and reflects on differing civilian views. He says, at the gate, he might have chosen the Army earlier.
