Bergdahl celebration set for June 28

Event is now themed "Bowe is Back"

By :GREGORY FOLEY

The Wood River Valley will celebrate the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in an event called "Bowe is Back" on Saturday, June 28, from 1-5 p.m. at Hop Porter Park in Hailey.

The event was going to be called "Bring Bowe Back" but the name and the theme were changed after the soldier from Hailey was released from captivity in Afghanistan on Saturday.

Event co-organizer Debbie Oneill said Bergdahl's parents, Bob and Jani Bergdahl, will speak at the event. In addition, singer-songwriter Carole King will perform. Idaho Sen. Michelle Stennett, D-Ketchum, will be the keynote speaker.

The event will feature activities for children and food will be served.

Go to all the local news blogs, the newspapers in the surrounding towns, TV and radio stations, and make the cased that Bergdahl belongs in Ft. Leavenworth as a deserter and possible traitor to his country.

Given the publicity, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some Patriot Riders or another, similar group.

That would be a good time and place for a memorial for the six soldiers who died looking for the deserter —

He was not a prisoner of war! He was no hero! These celebrations are wrong.

Maybe they will show to disrupt as they do for the felps crowd?

It reminds me of the film “Saving Private Ryan.”

Well, the twisted, perverse, 21st Century Obama version anyway...

Assume this will take place *after* the UCMJ Article 32 preliminary hearing.

The 15-6 would take longer.

I really think we need to hear what Dude has to say about his views of America before anybody goes throwing a party for him. Will he bend down and kiss the tarmack in Texas or will he spit on it? That is the 64thousand dollar question.

********************************************************************

There were six killed in the search FROM HIS UNIT. Others, from other units, were also killed in the search. The whole area shut down other operations and focused 100% on the search for the DESPICABLE DEFECTOR.
