Thursday posts are usually reserved for talking about an organization that does good in the world, but on the eve of our national celebration of Independence, I thought this story was quite appropriate for today.
Good in the News: Celebrating Freedom
Late last night, three Americans who had been held hostage in the jungles of Colombia for more than 5 years landed safely on American soil. These three men, Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell, were government contractors. Their plane crashed in Colombia in February 2003, and they were captured by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and have been held as prisoners every since. Twelve other hostages were also rescued on Wednesday.
Tomorrow we celebrate America, our independence and our freedom. Let's also celebrate the freedom of these fifteen hostages, and rejoice that three of our fellow Americans are finally home again, where they belong. Most definitely Good in the News!
