Description
Near My Tho: Not so happy is the homecoming for this Viet Cong youth (left), who spent four years in a South Vietnamese prison. Released Jan. 28 following signing of the truce, he returned home to find his parents had been killed in a bombing raid on his hamlet located some 37 miles SW of Saigon. His aged grandmother displays photos of the parents as his small sister gazes at camera during memorial service for the parents.
