title: Operation Homecoming: 25 years later.
abstract: Following an end to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War in early 1973, approximately 600 Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine personnel, the great majority aviators, were released from captivity in North and South Vietnam and Laos. Their initial medical evaluation was performed at USAF Hospital, Clark Air Base, Republic of the Philippines, between February and April 1973. The author describes the events of those memorable days.
