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.
