Alaska Governor Sarah Palin [On July 19, 2009] offered her support and encouragement to the family of a Ft. Richardson soldier captured in Afghanistan (Support, 2009, ¶1).
“Todd and I are praying for Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, his family, and all of his fellow soldiers who are putting their lives on the line to defend our freedom and protect democracy abroad,” Governor Palin said. “The capture of Private Bergdahl and the bombings in Jakarta prove that we have not defeated terrorism, and that radical extremists will stop at nothing to attack Westerners and our ideals” (Support, 2009, ¶2).
More than 7,000 soldiers and airmen stationed in Alaska are currently deployed overseas (Support, 2009, ¶3).
“Our men and women who volunteer to wear the uniform have the best training and experience of any military in the world,” said Lt. Gen. (AK) Craig E. Campbell, Adjutant General of the Alaska National Guard. “We know that when we deploy that anything can happen, and we pray that PFC Bergdahl’s fellow soldiers can find him quickly and reunite him with his family” (Support, 2009, ¶4).
