Barack Obama actually said...

Today the American people are pleased that we will be able to welcome home Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, held captive for nearly 5 years.

As a parent, I can't imagine the hardship that you guys have gone through.

It's a profound obligation within our military, and today, at least in this instance, it's a promise we've been able to keep.

Sergeant Bergdahl's recovery is a reminder of America's unwavering commitment to leave no man or woman in uniform behind on the battlefield.
