Bowe Bergdahl -- Prisoner of the Taliban

Bowe Bergdahl, age 24, is the only known U.S. soldier currently held by the Taliban in Afghanistan.


Bergdahl ... has been imprisoned for 18 months...appeared...looking thin but otherwise healthy alongside Taliban commander Maulawi Sangin who has previously threatened to kill him. It remains unclear when the video was shot or where he is being held.

Pte Bergdahl disappeared in June 2009 while on duty in the eastern part of the country when he was aged 23 and is thought to be the only U.S. soldier in captivity.
Read the entire post from the Sanctuary of Mary and find more in the NY Daily News and more here, among many other places.

Those of us who live in safety would do well to remember him.
