Vietnam's 'Private Ryan'

Lt. Joe Dunn was listed as "missing in action"

BOSTON (CNN) -- As the nation continues to be fascinated by the heroics and tragedy displayed in Steven Spielberg's movie "Saving Private Ryan," for one family in Boston the film has brought back bitter memories.

Thirty years ago, a U.S. Navy pilot serving in Vietnam was shot down near the coast of China.

However, in this case, U.S. officials failed to go to his rescue. And years later, the pilot's widow learned why that decision was reached, as Correspondent Larry Woods found out.
