Solid thread by hunter as expected. 
This picture, man. I don't know what to say. It really got me thinking though. Those guys went through hell to say the least. Just imagine what was going through his mind at this moment and what awaited him. Do we have his name? His story?

In this Vietnam War photo, US Air Force 1st Lieutenant Gerald Santo Venanzi is held captive by a young North Vietnamese girl soldier. When the Paris Peace Accords were agreed in 1973, the North Vietnamese returned 591 American POWs. However, another 1,350 POWs were never returned, and about 1,200 Americans were reported killed in action but their bodies were never recovered.
Most of the MIA were pilots, like Lieutenant Venanzi. They got shot down over the North, Cambodia or Laos, and were captured by communist forces.

Gerald Venanzi was interned as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam after he was shot down on September 17, 1967, and was held until his release on March 14, 1973.
