As
you maybe aware, Sergeant Bowe R. Bergdahl, United States Army, held
captive since 30 June 2009 is the only American service member serving
in Afghanistan being held by Taliban allied insurgents known as the
"Haqqani".
Press
releases by official representatives of both government and the
military have stated that the search for Sergeant Bergdahl continues and
that all that can be done to return him to the United States is being
done. Unfortunately, given that Sergeant Bergdahl has been held captive
by enemies of America for three years and nine months, these assurances
are beginning to ring hollow to those who are advocating for him.
We
understand that obtaining his release is challenging due the complexity
of the situation that he is in. It is difficult to understand, however,
why the force of the most powerful nation in the world has failed to
accomplish his release. The hundreds of thousands of supporters of
Sergeant Bergdahl across our country have been waiting for real results
in the effort to bring him home yet have been sadly disappointed.
Therefore Honor-Release-Return
/ The Ride Home, Vietnam Veterans of America Big Bend #96, Vietnam Vets
Legacy Vets MC, American Legion, PGR, DAV, Amvets and many others will
pull together and respectfully asks that you be an advocate for Sergeant Bergdahl and join us in this nation wide awareness
movement on March 28th. (Bowe's birthday) by participating in Florida's
"Ride For Freedom" event being held at our State Capitol 11am - 2pm.
It
is important we publicly show our support in an effort to gain his
freedom and that we all urge our Senators and Congressman to MAKE IT
HAPPEN!!! Thanks and feel free to call me with any questions. Kat :)
