This is so wonderful. Somehow I just felt that this young female soldier would be all right, but to hear this news is so incredibly great.

Ain't nothing wrong with Palestine, per se. Just what's happening there & who's living there at this point in history.

Don't let the Palestinians know. They'll be claiming that they were in West Virginia for 4,000 years, and that their land was stolen.

I'd give some billing to the special operations people who found and rescued her, myself. But that's just me.
