Bowe Bergdahl Back In US, Expected To Be Reunited With His Parents At San Antonio Medical Facility
U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who endured five years of captivity by the Taliban before being released in a controversial prisoner exchange on May 31, arrived early Friday at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, the Army said.
Bergdahl's arrival at the Texas medical facility follows nearly two weeks at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where the 28-year-old Idaho native was taken after the U.S. exchanged him for five top Taliban commanders who were being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Those commanders are now in Qatar.
The Army will continue Bergdahl's medical treatment in San Antonio, where he is expected to reunite with his parents.
The Taliban captured Bergdahl in June 2009.
