The 7 POWs are free and in Kuwait!

The big news of the day!

Apparently the Marines were blocking off a road and an Iraqi police officer came up to them and said that "you must be here for the POWs", or something to that effect and took the Marines to them. :)

This was near Samarra (south of Tikrit).

:crying: Oh those poor ninnies who said we'd never see any of our POWs ever again except as corpses...

:righton: Good going troops! Whether hard effort or serendipity, you're getting it done.

I had wondered when and where they would show up, I knew it would just be a matter of time.

This is wonderful to hear. I was really concerned that as more time passed, it would be increasingly unlikely that they would be found alive. This is simply terrific news.
