Flights to Freedom

Hello. And welcome to Flights to Freedom. I'm your host, Jim Fisher. They paid a high price for their freedom, but it was worth it. Ava Meiner escaped the enemy by hiding in the sewers while leaving her child in the care of a friend. How was that for you, Ava? Meiner: Miserable. It was pitch dark all the time. There was no food and it smelled terrible. And that war took forever to end. Fisher: But it must have been worth it when you stepped out, once again, into the light of freedom. Meiner: Yes, it was. Fisher: I bet you'll never forget the smile on your child's face. Meiner: Actually I don't remember that. Fisher: You don't? Why don't you? Meiner: Because I went blind. Fisher: We'll be back right after this. Fisher: As a young airman, Dennis Pryce was shot down over enemy territory. He managed to survive three years of captivity in a POW camp before he finally escaped. How did you do it, Dennis? Pryce: The war ended. Fisher: Oh. Still, I'm sure our viewers would like to know how you endured those impossible conditions for such a long time. Pryce: Nothing to it, really. Just do whatever they say. Fisher: Do whatever they say? Pryce: That's right. If they want you to burn your country's flag, you do it. And if they want you to fetch a stick for them, you do it. And if they want to use you as a footstool, you let them. And if they want to use your mouth as an ashtray while they play cards, you- Fisher: Lieutenant! How could you admit to such humiliating and treasonous acts of cowardice on national television? Pryce: I don't know. By being brave? Fisher: Sometimes freedom forces us to make tough choices. Wes Matthews was a spy facing interrogation when he decided to swim for freedom through a shark infested moat. Wes, weren't you afraid of what the sharks would do to you? Matthews: Not really. After I saw what the interrogators did to the man before me, I was willing to take my chances with the sharks. Fisher: You lost your arm. Matthews: Yep. Fisher: But you gained your freedom. Matthews: I guess so. Fisher: Tell us about your arduous passage through the jungle. Matthews: Actually I bumped into a column of my own troops almost immediately. They were coming to liberate the camp. As soon as I left, I ended up going back. If I would have just stayed put for a few more minutes- Fisher: Thank you. That will be all for this edition of Flights to Freedom. I'm Jim Fisher. Good night.
