KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (July 3, 2009)--Fort Hood soldier James Adam Letner, 20, who disappeared Monday while driving back to Texas after attending his stepfather’s funeral in Knoxville, Tenn., has been found safe in Memphis, Tenn., Knoxville police said Friday.

Letner’s mother, Teresa Marshall-Harris, who earlier said she feared her son had been kidnapped, declined comment to WVLT-TV in Knoxville other than to say that she’s glad her son is safe.

Letner had talked to his mother by phone around 6:30 p.m. Monday and told her he would soon be in Arkansas, Knoxville police spokesman Darrell DeBusk said Thursday.

He also called a friend at around 9:30 p.m. and said he was tired, DeBusk said.

Letner was supposed to report back to Fort Hood by 5 a.m. on Tuesday, but he never arrived.

Poor Rachel. Her idiot of a president is dismantling our country before our eyes, and she is still fixated on Bush. No wonder we're in such a terrible state. God Save America!

Have we not yet figured out that freedom over there is never a lasting entity. We keep doing the same mess over and over again. Those 50 million muslims living over there in freedom are just one pull out away from the same disaster again. They are going to have to learn to solve their own messes or there won't be an America to help them out. We are destroying ourselves from the inside out - why can't you "idiot's" see that? You can't go police the world and keep up your own backyard. You want to live like them - let's just keep throwing our money away. BTW, many of those 50 million muslims want us to go home and LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!
