1 Grade Seven Language Arts Assessment #1 The Price of Freedom Cassandra H. Vanhooser The nation pays tribute to American prisoners of war who purchased our freedom by sacrificing their own. As hard as I try, I can t stop the hot, salty tears that spill down my cheeks. I came to the National Prisoner of War Museum in Andersonville, Georgia, expecting to wade through musty memorabilia and obscure statistics. Instead, I hear the voices and see the faces of America s POWs. Now I understand what my freedom indeed, the independence of every American truly cost. From the Revolution to the Gulf War, more than 800,000 men, women, and children have been held captive by enemy forces. Other military museums touch on the subject, but this is the first memorial dedicated solely to the plight of American prisoners of war. Its location on the very site of the Andersonville Prison Camp where 45,000 Union soldiers were incarcerated 1 seems fitting. As I wander through the museum, I get only a tiny taste of indignities prisoners of war endured. I feel gut-wrenching terror when I walk into a darkened room and suddenly face a wall of weapons pointed at me. As I watch interviews with family members, I imagine waiting years for a loved one s return. I look inside the prison door at the simulated Hanoi Hilton 2 and pray I ll never know the mind-numbing experience of being shackled in a tiny cell. In my heart, I bend down to kiss the American soil with each returning soldier. That I can experience this part of history is in large part thanks to the POWs themselves. The American Ex-Prisoners of War, a veterans group of more than 30,000 members, teamed with the National Park Service to raise the money needed to build the museum. Their influence permeates the project, especially in the commemorative courtyard. The prisoner of war story is cruel, says Bill Fornes, an ex-pow who spent 12 years working on the project. It s hard. It s emotional. We wanted a place where, after that, visitors could reflect, ease themselves, and realize the world s not all bad. It s here I meet Lloyd Diehl from New Jersey, an ex-pow. 1. incarcerated. Put in prison 2. simulated Hanoi Hilton. Copy of a Vietnamese wartime prison
2 I m here to try to heal a little bit from what I experienced and what I still experience, says Lloyd, who was captured on December 19, 1944, in Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge. He spent four month in Stalag 9B, A German prison camp. I don t feel shame anymore. I did at first. It s like saying I gave up, he says, his voice quivering with emotion. You just don t do that. It wasn t in my vocabulary, or I didn t think it was. Then to do it, to surrender I think we all felt shame. We were reduced to the existence of a dog, he continues. But we knew that when we got liberated 3 and we all expected to get liberated that it was only up from that point. Lloyd was burying a fellow POW in a prison graveyard when liberation finally came. An American plane flew over and strafed 4 us, and all we could do was crouch down, he remembers. He missed us the first time, but he went around and did it again. That time he came in over the top of us and not in front of us, and we waved as he flew by. The third time he went by, he wiggled his wings like he recognized us; then we went out and finished burying this guy. As Lloyd shares his story, he lays his head on my shoulder and begins to weep, the wounds deep and painful even now, after more than 50 years have passed I cradle this man a complete stranger in my arms and whisper the only words worthy of his sacrifice. Thank you, I tell him. 3. liberated. Freed 4. strafed. Fired at American POWs

A BATTLE IN THE SKY It wasn t quite day and it wasn t quite night, Cause the sun and the moon were both in sight, A situation quite all right With everyone else but them. So they both made remarks about who gave more light And who was the brightest and prettiest sight, And the sun gave a bump and the moon gave a bite, And the terrible sky fight began. With a scorch and a sizzle, a screech and a shout, Across the great heavens they tumbled about, And the moon had a piece of the sun in its mouth, While the sun burned the face of the moon, And when it was over the moon was rubbed red, And the sun had a very bad lump on its head, And all the next night the moon stayed home in bed, And the sun didn t come out til noon. 10.
