Hostages freed from FARC captivity

For those who don't know--I work for Northrop Grumman (NG) for my day job. Great job, Love the people. Etc. Etc.

Anyway, five years ago, an NG plane crashed in an area ocupied by FARC. Two men were murdered by FARC. And Keith , Marc and Thomas were taken hostage.

Today, the three hostages were freed by the Colombia military. I am sure it will be a tough recovery but wow. Can you imagine--five years and then you’re free?

It's stunning.

I'd read the article but hadn't realized they were Northrop people. Wow. It will be a trick to get back to "normal" but I'm sure they and their families are feeling like it's Christmas, the Fourth fo July and all their birthdays rolled into one.
