January 20, 1981, ended the captivity of 52 Americans who, for 444 days, were held hostage in Teheran, the capital city of Iran. The ordeal began November 4, 1979, when a group of Iranian students stormed the embassy in protest to the United States allowing Iran's exiled Shah to come to our country for cancer surgery. Most Americans were shocked at this incident but not many knew on that day over a year ago just how long it would be until we saw these 52 Americans safely home again. Many times it seemed the U.S. and Iran were on the verge of agreement in such areas as the Shah's wealth, the frozen Iranian assets, and consequently the release of the hostages. But the days passed and their freedom was still not at hand. We only saw glimpses of them in their prisons in rare films given us by the Iranians. We heard and read of their lives on T.V. and in the newspapers. We heard of their treatment, their living conditions, the possibility of their being tried as spies, and of the ominous threat of their execution. But none of us could ever know the constant fear in which they lived. We'd never understand what it was like to be blindfolded and tied up in a foreign land, separated from our fami ly, friends and society. We could only be thankful that we lived in a free country where such acts of imprisonment are not allowed. We could only pray for our fellow countrymen and hope that never again would we have to face America held hostage.
