The suffering that this family suffered is truly sad. America is glad that Paul Whelan is back home

1. What an ordeal

And what a well thought out repsonse.

And clearly, they got no help from the Trump Administration and made it known so here. Imagine a loved one kidnapped by our enemy and the government won't even answer your calls about him.

"Those first years were hard when the Trump Administration ignored Paul's wrongful detention..." That needs to be a headline.

3. "Those first years were hard when the Trump Administration ignored Paul's wrongful detention..."

That line hit me hard also

4. Really needs to be the headline

Remember when Biden brought Brittney Griner home? Cons could talk about Whelan enough, they were screaming he should have been brought home before a gay, black, female athlete. Trump cared zero about Whelan because there was nothing in it for him.

Really hope this sentence gets covered on the big news channels. Trump left this guy to rot, Biden moved heaven and earth to bring him home.

That serntence kind of deserves its own thread.

5. What an extraordinary letter

This family thanked everyone by name who helped Whelan! I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that opened my eyes to the plight of prisoners like Whelan. Their entire family should be in charge of hostage rescue/support.
BTW they not only thanked Biden but they dissed Trump administration for ignoring their brother and they thank Brittany Grinder for encouraging people to write letters to Paul.
