Forgotten POW cries out in shadow of Vietnam welcome
Frederick M. Ryan, a 41-year-old Dayton Kentucky native and Korean War prisoner of war, says he feels forgotten as Vietnam veterans receive homecomings. Disabled and disillusioned, he laments lack of VA recognition and a delayed disability rating while his family survives on meager benefits. The piece notes his 1950 capture, injuries, and belief that the government mismanaged his disability appeal. An unrelated item mentions a nine nation joint lab agreement in Heidelberg signed in Geneva.
