Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Jon Reynolds, former Vietnam War POW, speaks about his experiences in captivity March 20 at the 18th Annual POW/MIA Symposium, hosted by the 560th Flying Training Squadron at the Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Fleenor Auditorium. Reynolds became a POW when his aircraft was shot down during a flying mission near Yen Bai, North Vietnam, Nov. 28, 1965. Nearly eight years later, he was released Feb. 12, 1973. The annual Freedom Flyer Reunion tradition began when members of the 560th FTS were given the task to retrain more than 150 POWs returning to flying status toward the end of American involvement in the Vietnam War.
