Hostage Awareness Week
Bring Our Families Home
April 29th, 2025 marked my 3rd year in a row attending “Hostage Awareness Week” in Washington, D.C. This incredible series of events, organized by wonderful foundations that advocate for the hostage community, holds a very special place in my heart.
When I first returned from my five-year captivity, attending this event had such a profound impact on me that I dedicated the very first chapter of my book From Hero to Villain to it. Chapter 1: Journey to Freedom captures the emotions of that first trip to Washington, D.C., a pivotal moment of healing, hope, and renewed purpose.
Grateful beyond words for this community and the tireless work being done for hostages and their families.
