13 April 2003: "Halle-bloody-lujah"

Ex-PoW Specialist Shoshana Johnson is escorted to a transport aircraft on Sunday

"Seven U.S. POWs freed in Iraq" (CNN)

Rescued: CWO Williams, David; CWO Young, Ronald; SGT Riley, James; SPC Hernandez, Edgar; SPC Hudson, Joseph; SPC Johnson, Shoshana; PFC Miller, Patrick.

CWOs Williams and Young are from C/1-227th Avn; their AH-64 was forced down near Karbala. The other five are the missing members of the 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company.
I'm rather happy they're alive. See also "Marines rescue 7 U.S. POWs"
