Long-Freed POWs Adjust Nine Months Later
In September 1972 three former U S POWs flew home from North Vietnam. Now nine months later they report smooth readjustment with no major problems. Only Gartley left military service and begins as an Eastern Airlines flight engineer in Miami. Charles starts a San Diego Navy assignment. Elias attends the Armed Forces Staff College in Virginia and works on a Navy readjustment role. All three declined political comment and note a normal return to work and family life. Gartley recalls missing Nixon POW dinner due to a family illness.
