They were given a physical, an .D. bracelet, an I.D. card and tag, eloused and given dental care, then they were put down in the compound,” Landon said, describ- ing the beginning of what was to be welcome care for the bedraggled soldiers. “They were happy. They had three meals a day, water, showers and for recreation they played soccer. They cleaned their own area.” Landon’s job was to guard the prisoners and he said they proc- essed between 26,000 and 30,000 prisoners, and had as many as 15,000 prisoners in camp at one time. Landon was one of the fortunate ones to go into Kuwait City where he went inside the United States Embassy and the Kuwait Interna- tional Hotel. “The destruction done by the Iragis was horrible,” he said. He also saw and was able to take pictures of the “Highway to Hell,” the roadway out of Kuwait City that was turned into a miles-long morgue by allied attacks. “When we were ready to leave the Gulfwe turned over the prison- ers to the Saudi Arabian National Guard who shipped them to refu- gee camps. We had some of the Republican Guard in our camp,” said Landon. “The last day we tore down the camp and turned all of the equip- ment over to the Saudi govern- ment. We burned everything else, but the Bedouins went through the garbage trucks for food and nearly stripped them.” green trees and grass,” When the unit went over to the Gulf they left from Lagnley AFB and the 17-hour flight stopped at Brussels, Belgium, before it landed in Saudi Arabia. They came back by the same route and were proc- essed out at Fort Dix before re- turning to the Hanover headquar- ters to come home, arriving here May 25. “It's good to be home and see Landon repeated.
