The way that American Soldiers were treated in prisoner of war camps was unjust and shameful and it affected their lives and the lives of their families in a way that they will never forget.
Prisoners of war (POW) - members of an active military service captured during or after battle and are then incarcerated, or sent to a prison, by an opposing power.
During the Vietnam War, about 760 American servicemen were taken prisoners of war by the Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.
