Operation Homecoming

Operation Homecoming was a humanitarian effort during and after the Vietnam War, aimed at repatriating American prisoners of war (POWs) held in North Vietnam. Initiated in 1973 following the Paris Peace Accords, this operation involved the systematic release and return of US servicemen who had been captured during the conflict. It marked a significant moment in American history, symbolizing hope and closure for families of the missing. The operation helped to highlight the humanitarian aspects of war and the importance of bringing soldiers home after prolonged suffering and captivity.
