Denver veteran urges humane treatment for returning POWs
Har ris, a 49 year old Denver resident and B29 reconnaissance pilot shot down in 1952, urges leaving POWs to rejoin life at their own pace under Project Homecoming. He recalls hiding his abuse with humor to survive a North Korean prison camp and notes media and families should not treat returning prisoners as oddities. Harris was repatriated Sept 6 1993, the final U S release after Operation Mig Switch.
