Forgotten WWII POWs finally honored

During World War II, some felt American airmen who were held in POW camps in Switzerland were cowards who had landed there to avoid fighting. Were it not for the grandson of a POW, the actions of the airmen may never have been recognized. Elaine Quijano reports.

I'm glad those brave men were finally recognized for their sacrifices!

My Uncle Bengt Hallberg, tail gunner of one of the B 17 Flying fortress’s, was shot down. He and his brave crew were interned in Switzerland. A few of them escaped to France. The copilot Donald Malloy was captured trying to escape and sent to the military prison camp. Sadly I don’t know what became of my Uncle and I’m still trying to find out. These men are Hero’s. God bless these men.

Sure, every US soldier is a hero and thus it's perfectly fine to defame anyone else in the process of bestowing the nimbus of heroism on them.
