Previously unseen footage showing the release of presidential candidate, and then prisoner of war, John McCain to the U.S. Military in Hanoi in 1973.
The pictures were found by a Swedish TV journalist who was searching for Vietnam war material in the station's archives.

Excellent footage! It's even more powerful without sound - I'm glad it doesn't have any.
I just cried my eyes out though. Every single man in that group is a HERO. Those faces. So brave and stoic to the very end. I can't even imagine the horrors endured.
McCain was a very handsome young man.

When I saw that footage I was struck by how skinny they were. And yet, they were ramrod straight when they shook hands with the officials.
Thank God we produced then and produce now such amazing people.
I am humbled.
God bless and keep all of you who have served for our country. May you not see heaven for a long time, but when you are called home there will be a special place for you.

+1 to all of that.
