I was in Basic Training in January 1981, when the hostages were released. It was announced at church on Sunday, days after it happened. The whole place just erupted in cheers. We were so grateful and relieved for the hostages, for our new President and for Carter being GONE!!!
If Iran is the legacy of Carter, what lingering hell
will be Obama’s?
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was in Sonar Technician “A” school in San Diego when their release was announced. We went over to the “Lizard Lounge” and pounded pitchers of beer in celebration. It was a great day, made possible by President Reagan’s testicular fortitude. May he rest in peace. Thanks to a real American, both you and him.
