It is good that this story was written. From memory, I don't think there were parades or anything for the soldiers either. I do remember there was a celebration when the POWs were freed.

I do know that Pan Am flew into Vietnam during the war. My friend and I flew from Cam Ranh Bay to Japan and back for R&R in October 1967. Pan Am was a magnificent airline. All honor to the flight crews!
