3 rescued U.S. hostages arrive in Tex. - Americas

Northrop Grumman Corporation - Defining the Future

While I worked for Northrop Grumman, there were numerous vigils held for these 3 men. I kept track of the story after leaving because I could not imagine being held captive. (When their plane went down, it went down yards away from a FARC meeting. Their pilot and Columbian guide/translator were both executed on the spot.) I felt so bad for their families ... 5 years without your husband, father, son ... 5 years and you don't know if they're dead or alive, being mistreated, etc. I am so happy that they have been freed.

Over here it's been major news for a long time because of Ingrid Betankourt, the former presidential candidate who was also a french citizen so the French government got heavily involved too. This whole rescue was about her, or at least that's how it was aired. We knew there were other hostages too, but it was always Betankourt's case that was the subject. She was very sick and there were worries about her needing care. She had kids too.
So you worked for the same company as these men?
