She's back...in the USA. One step closer to home. And saying maybe it's corny but she's glad to be back in the land of the free.
Friends in her north Fargo neighborhood have already planted flowers at the family home to welcome them all back.
Need we mention the quiet heroism of her parents? Leaving the safety and relative obscurity of their quiet life in Fargo for the harrowing challenge of flying to Iran and resolutely staying and speaking out until Roxana Saberi was released.
On this Memorial Weekend, we salute all the men and women who work in every facet of our American government, military, State Dept., intelligence services, diplomatic corps, Congressmen and Senators and their staffs...working in public service for us all. Led by a White House working to restore the honor and dignity of this nation in the eyes of the world...and ourselves.
Working to assure, most days in obscurity, that we all truly live in the land of the free.
We have much to celebrate...and reflect on...this Memorial Day weekend.
