At least that's the headline on a TV station's site out of Harlingen, TX.

A former U.S. Marine is expected to be released from a prison in Matamoros on Friday...U.S. Consolate officials are standing by to escort the former Marine safely back into the United States once he is released.

No real details in the story beyond that. Hope it's true.

Fantastic!

So, when people other than our government acted, things happened.

I just happened to notice Eglman had already started a thread on this subject but in a different section of the Forum. I could also swear I did a search for Hammar's name just so this would not happen. But it doesn't seem to have worked.

Well, ok, perhaps the 2 threads can be merged.
Report: Jon Hammar to be released from Mexican prison today

Great news! I said a prayer for this soldier and I thank God for his mercy by sending him home!

I also might ...just might....think a good thought about O'Reilly, too.
