DMZ, The Captives Set Free

We were on constant alert along the DMZ in anticipation of aggression from the North Koreans. On December 23, 1968, our unit was deployed to Panmujom to provide perimeter security when the 82 American POWs were released at the Bridge of No Return, separating Noth and South Korea.

The photo below was taken by Stars and Strips as the prisoners were released.
