I saw Specialist Johnson's parents interviewed on NBC Tuesday evening, and their strength, faith, and dignity were truly moving. Her father retired from the Army and is a Gulf War Veteran, her mother works at Ft. Bliss, and her sister is a captain on active duty. Throughout the interview, they stressed their faith and family ties and comaraderie with fellow servicemen and families. They never complained or said a negative thing, and her mother even expressed her concern for the liason officer who nearly broke down while telling her the terrible news. They repeatedly stressed their hopes and concerns for not just their daughter, but all the prisoners and service people. They are a pillar of strength under the most terrifying circumstances imaginable, and exemplify the finest qualities of our service families. With people like this on our side, no dictator, terrorist, or other force of evil can prevail.

If their daughter is anything like the famiily that has raised her, we have all be blessed by her service to her nation. May God bless this family, as they deal with this.
