Iran Hostages
Fifty-two Americans held hostage in Iran for 444 days were reunited with their families on January 25, 1981.
On route to the local Thayer Hotel they were accorded a grand patriotic outpouring of admiration and respect by the local community resulting in the "Hometown U.S.A." designation.
