Seven U.S. soldiers previously listed as missing have been found alive by Marines heading north of Baghdad Sunday, General Tommy Franks says. It is not known whether the seven, six men and one African-American woman, are the seven held prisoner of war by Iraq, or include the six soldiers listed as missing in action.

#5 I am VERY HAPPY NOW I can't wait to hear their stories: i wanna know how the Iraqis treated them. Well done to all of them, they made it through alive: nothing else in life should hold any fear for them now after this! |

#3 The rescued POWs were identified as Army Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas; Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, 23, of Alamogordo, N.M.; Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson, 30, of Fort Bliss, Texas; Army Pfc. Patrick Miller, 23, of Park City, Kan.; Army Sgt. James Riley, 31, of Pennsauken, N.J.; Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ronald D. Young, Jr., 26, of Lithia Springs, Ga.; and Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 David S. Williams, 30, of Orlando, Fla. Young and Williams are the Apache helicopter pilots who were captured after their aircraft was downed during a mission. The other five are members of the Army's 507th Maintenance Unit whose vehicle was ambushed when it took a wrong turn early in the war. LINK |

#1 I wonder if these are the troops from the supply convoy that got ambushed in Al-Nasyria. If they are good because I was afraid that we would not be seeing them again. Has the five sided nut house said who the bodies retieved from the hospital in Al-Nasyria are? |
