Letter: Bring hostage home

Posted September 08, 2022 1:00 am

I am very concerned about Mark Frerichs from Lombard being held hostage in Afghanistan.

I am looking at the Daily Herald paper dated, Jan. 22, 2022, and the story about Mark. As far as is known (the article says) Frerichs is the only American still held in Afghanistan, and he has been held hostage since January 2020.

I feel so sorry for Mark and his family. I pray every day for his safe return and that he will not be left behind any longer. Is anyone working on his return? How is he being treated? What would you do if he was your family member?

As the article states: "For a nation and a president that have committed to the notion that no American would be left behind in this or any time of conflict, Frerichs' ongoing captivity is disgracefully inhumane."

Bring Mark Frerichs home.
