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.

They KNOW he was a DESERTER, TRAITOR, and they are still willing to make fools of themselves over this POS that was NEVER a POW!!

This is in Hailey-Sun Valley for those of you who don’t know. Just a bunch of hippies and left wing billionaires. Development to them is a dirty word.

Whooptishit. Why don't they make the celebration two weeks and call it Bowedigras?

Hard to believe that the great state of Idaho would support an event of this type to honor a deserter and traitor.

Those in Idaho be sure to spend your dollars elsewhere. At said website there is a POW / MIA Plaque with Bergdahl on it, what the hell is wrong with these people? http://bringboweback2014.com/

How’s that?

These “parents” of this traitor bastard remind me of the idiot parents of rachel pancake corie. I have a model of an IDF D9R bulldozer and i intend to display it with an arm and leg sticking out from the track and blade.

The attention this family generated sure doesn’t appear to be solely of their doing, but rather it appears to have come about by and large through the efforts of the progressive political machine.

“go back to aghanistan, bowe” works for me....

Think about it —

While everyone is distracted by the VA scandal the CiC pulls off this deal flying to Afghanistan in the process to finalize the deal while everyone thinks that he flew there to escape the VA scandal.

It was a twofer.

Let’s hope it’s just a twofer — because most bad things come in threes

Now that we know more -- including the terrorists we released (in violation of the Constitution); the circumstances of Bergdahl's separation from his unit (voluntary, it now seems); and the deaths of our soldiers seeking to rescue Bergdahl (who, quite probably, did not want to be rescued) -- I suspect the celebrations will be quietly scuttled.

I hereby award myself an engraved, sterling silver FReeperPrognostication trophy.
