Summary

Retired Air Force Col. Carlyle Harris, former Vietnam War POW, speaks about his experiences in captivity March 20 at the 18th Annual POW/MIA Symposium, hosted by the 560th Flying Training Squadron at the Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Fleenor Auditorium. Harris was released Feb. 12, 1973, after being held for eight years. His aircraft was shot down by an anti-aircraft April 4, 1965, during a bombing run on the Ham Rong Bridge at Than Hoa. The annual Freedom Flyer Reunion tradition began when the 560th FTS was given the task to retrain more than 150 POWs returning to flying status toward the end of American involvement in the Vietnam War.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
