Here's a link to a video of the initial release of POWs from 1991, and the attention's focused on Melissa Rathbun-Nealy (Now Melissa Coleman). It's compiled from clips from New Zealand TV, of all places. And it shows how much of a celebrity she became back then. (And even occasionally now, as documentaries about Desert Storm sometimes feature her story).
The link is as follows: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9lOJAvmApl4
I've seen the video, and when she's being put in front of the cameras before the Red Cross takes over, she's got this look that seems to say "This is a dream, and I'm going to wake up back in that cell." She's much more animated when she's going onto the hospital ship in Bahrain, knowing that finally, it's over and she's going home.
If the link doesn't work for whatever reason, try a google video search for Melissa Rathbun-Nealy and it should take you there.

Treat everyone you meet with kindness and respect, but always have ready a plan to kill them.
