I just listened to Jim's parents speak, it made me cry, the kinda silent cry where a tear slides down your cheek. They are strong & brave. They addressed the terrorists who held their son and begged them for mercy regarding the others they are holding. The Mom said the terrorists knew that Jim was no threat to them, that they (the terrorists) viewed him as a symbol of America. They said their son is their hero.
