The first batch of Vietnam POW release videos have been posted to the museum web site. The first videos posted show the first POWs released on February 12, 1973.

Many Vietnam POWs attended a celebratory dinner with the President of the United States on May 24, 1973. We have posted the ABC TV video.

We have added the Pilots in Pajamas video series about US men held prisoner by the North Vietnamese.

A group of Vietnam Veterans produced a piece detailing the efforts of Jane Fonda to discredit them and their service and to give aid and comfort to the enemy. We have added it to our archives and are developing it into an exhibit at the museum.

We have just added a selection of Vietnam P.O.W. capture photographs that are only available online. Visit the museum to see other P.O.W. artifacts.
