ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A New Mexico woman said Sunday she saw her son interviewed on Iraqi television as one of the U.S. soldiers taken prisoner, and she begged President Bush: ``Please do something for my son.''

Anecita Hudson of Alamogordo said she saw her 23-year-old son, Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, who was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, interviewed in the Iraqi video, which was carried on a Filipino television station she subscribes to.

Good Lord, this mother is going through hell. Please send out prayers for her son and the others.

[MEG33]

May God give them strength.When the war is over we'll find them.

This appears to be a Patriot Missile Repair Company. What in the heck were they doing way up there anyway? Did they get drafted to perform supply/transport or something?

I feel so bad for this family. The Iraqis have done a terrible thing to them by broadcasting this. They'll roast in hell just for this.

[Diogenesis]

This is very irritating. It looks to me that several
American heroes were executed to motivate the remaining
heroes, who were then interviewed. They appear to me to be in shock.

FREEPERS, compare the evil you saw to this:

Heroes of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit
giving water to a dehydrated Iraqi. Would they do the same?.

Praying for the safe return of these brave young men who are fighting for not only their own freedom, but ours as well.

I can’t believe personnel information about him is being made public. His interrogators will be playing cruel games with this.

I was eating breakfast this morning when I heard about our Marines, I actually threw up.

I can’t believe personnel information about him is being made public.

I hadn't even concidered that. How awful this is.

There must be a way we can get our thoughts and prayers through to her. Any freepers live near her?

``I'm just praying that the other people (in the military) will get him out of there,'' she said.

I know what is in the hearts and the minds of his comrades in the Armed Forces of the United States of America, and in the very soul of his Commander-in-Chief. Our people will move heaven and earth to save him and the others.

Until then, my prayers are with them and their families--along with thousands of other FReepers, and millions of Americans.

When you have an adminstration that has an empty, under staffed and under trained military, everyone gets pressed into service (why do you think so damn many Reserves were called up?).

We're hugging trees, stopping noise, and our warriors (and our veterans) are underfiannced and under satffed!

War is not a game to be played part time...unfortunately, that's what our forces have deteriorated to (and no flames...I retired from the military with 27 years an one Purple Heart....been there/done that and know from where I speak!)

[BossLady]

Prayers and thoughts with this woman and her family!!!

Thoughts and prayers also for all who have been killed, missing or are now POWs.

May God hold them close.....

Sic Malkin on the pukimo malakais and they'll release him right quick.

This picture is so moving..

Makes me cry with pride everytime I see it..

I hear this photo is up for a Pullitzer (sp?) prize, and they want to name it "Tough Love."

Always know, that this represents the "Best and the Brightest."

Wish that compassionate Marine were My son...to his Mom and Dad.."Thank you" for raising such a fine human being..

We couldn't be prouder..

I the report says that he worked on trucks, I just dont understand how they managed to make a wrong turn away from the convoy as stated on the TV media.

Anyway, I hope we can get them out of there safely and make their captors pay dearly.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Lighting a candle and praying

May our Savior Jesus Christ hold them in the palm of his hand, give them courage and strength, and know we are coming for them..they will not be left behind...

We are with you, your President is with you..

Please, please, remember that..

With love and hope...

CNN is a horde of vultures, this woman should not be on the news. Opportunists of the worst order. Brown and Clark need thier $*&#$ reamed. Especially Clark, I knew he was a scumbag before, now I'm trying to think of whats worse than a scumbag.

She should be attended to by her family, the Military and it's support structure, her congressman, senator, and the media should be shut the hell out.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I think it sounds exactly right.

No desire to get into a religous arguement here.. it isn't the time or the place...

Save it, please..Thanks.
