The trauma, anxiety, hunger, and, even more importantly, the fellowship of the POW experience were not quickly forgotten. 

So the last fifty years have been filled with the joys of reunions, the nostalgic returns to the scenes of combat or the camps, the finding and thanking of those who gave assistance, and even friendly meetings with former foes. 

Some of these latter experiences have been very heart-warming. 

Cy Widen's experience is a classic example.
