OMG I hope this is correct, and the right person:

Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson, 30, of Fort Bliss, Texas — the only woman among the freed prisoners — limped in slippers and showed a bandage on her right ankle from a gunshot wound. She had been held since Iraqis ambushed her 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company outside the southern city of Nasiriyah on March 23.

The others were identified as Army Sgt. James Riley, 31, Pennsauken, N.J., Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, 23, Alamogordo, N.M., and Army Pfc. Patrick Miller, 23, Park City, Kan., and Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas — all members of the 507th.

Hernandez had been shot in the elbow, said Capt. Matt Belisle, a pilot who helped in the evacuation of the POWs.

"They look to be in pretty good condition ... all giving the thumbs up," said Col. Larry Brown, operations officer for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.

I'm so glad your cousin's safe again James. They also had a lot of news coverage on the black woman that was rescued (She's frm Lake Worth, fairly close to me). I believe there are still 3 that are thought to be killed?
