His wife, Elaine, and daughters, Jen and Alisa, are brave beyond measure. I hope that we can all respect their need for privacy at this time.

His humanitarian service, and that of Mr. Lo Porto, stands in stark and shining contrast to the depravity of their captors. I extend my sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Lo Porto of our great ally Italy as well.
