Marine Held in Russia Finally Freed | San Antonio News

A former Marine held captive in Russia for over four years has been released after enduring brutal conditions that left him near death — now en route to a Texas military hospital for recovery, as his family rushes to reunite with him. Originally sentenced for assaulting a police officer, his prison term ballooned past ten years due to escalating charges and alleged abuse.

His freedom marks a major win, but the focus now turns to his healing and reintegration into American life. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
