On this day in 1973, Raymond Schrump came home. After 1,727 days in captivity, after isolation, chains, starvation, and torture, he walked back into freedom as part of Operation HOMECOMING. He returned not just as a survivor… but as a testament to courage, faith, and unbreakable will. Today, we honor not only his strength— but the strength of all who were held as Prisoners of War. We remember their sacrifice. And we carry their stories forward. 🇺🇸 Never forgotten. Always honored. #OperationHom
