America celebrates the release of a young soldier who allegedly abandoned his post after growing disillusioned with the war in Afghanistan
The little mountain town of Hailey in the rural state of Idaho is readying a hero's welcome.
Its single shopping street is lined with bright yellow balloons and signs to greet Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl when he finally returns home after five long years as America's only prisoner of war in Afghanistan.
"Bowe is free at last!" reads one banner. "Our prayers have been answered!"
At Zaney's coffee house, where the 28-year-old worked before joining the military, well-wishers embrace and admire the large poster board covered in a half decade's worth of handwritten messages of support.
"To those of us in Hailey, Bowe is certainly a hero," said Sue Martin, the owner of Zaney's and Sgt Bergdahl's former boss.

A parade should be held regardless of what the media is cramming down our throats.If ticker tape still existed ,one should be held for Bergdahl and Snowden both,together or separately when and if Snowden returns.Don't let the MSM dominate your opinions.Think your very own independent thoughts.
