Barack Obama actually said...

But while Bowe was gone, he was never forgotten.

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

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

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