As one of the first POW's released and the returning face of many American POW's by appearing on the cover of Newsweek, Lt. Markham Gartley deserves addition to this list. After coming home he continued to serve the state of Maine as Secretary of State. I remember my friend appearing at my front door in California with the Newsweek Magazine with such excitement that the fellow on my POW bracelet had come home alive. It was a moment of hope for all the boys over in Southeast Asia that they too may come home alive.
