Cheering welcome for freed prisoners at Clark Air Base
Twenty American POWs released from Hanoi arrived at Clark Air Base to a large cheering crowd after doubting the release as a trick. In Saigon a North Vietnamese spokesman predicted more than 100 prisoners would be freed within a week. The group, shot down over North Vietnam in 1966 and 1967, enjoyed a candlelight dinner and quick debriefing as a large crowd and Red Cross helpers greeted them.
