Operation Just Cause... ...for as long as it takes
RAMSTEIN, Germany (AP) - Three U.S. soldiers held in captivity by
Yugoslav authorities for more than a month were released and left
Yugoslavia Sunday. Holding hands with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, they
walked into neighboring Croatia chanting "Free at last, free at last,
thank God Almighty, free at last!"
The soldiers arrived Sunday
afternoon at the U.S. military base in Ramstein in southwest Germany
on a C-9 military plane. A color guard with flags and a 27-man honor
platoon, dressed in full combat gear from the soldiers' own division,
greeted them on the tarmac at the air base along with a crowd of
about 200 well-wishers holding U.S. flags and big "Welcome Home"
signs. The arrival ended 32 days in captivity.
