A great story: Joy, tears, overwhelming relief for POW families. But then this:
In Fort Hood, Texas, the family of the second rescued helicopter pilot, David S. Williams, was smiling as well. “I’ve always remained positive,” said his father, David Williams Sr., who was with his son’s wife, Michelle, and their two children. “When you believe in God as I do and my son does, you know he will come back home safely.” In Fort Bliss, Texas, the family of Spc. Shoshana Johnson, the only woman among the seven released, issued a statement. “We thank God for watching over them.”
How might this make the family members of those soldiers who were killed feel, despite their prayers and fervent belief in God?
