I have waited for that day for more than 330 days. I just had so many dreams that he would be free.

It was about 9 by 11 and maybe 4 1/2 feet tall because it was a basement. It was just concrete, concrete floor concrete walls.

So that I can be released as quickly as possible from this definite death.

Coalition forces rescued American Roy Hallums and an Iraqi citizen from captivity in an isolated farm house located 15 miles (25 kilometres) south of Baghdad.

Health is in a very bad situation.

To those who continuously tracked my captors and location, and to those who physically brought me freedom today. To all of you, I will be forever grateful.

Arrested by a resistance group in Iraq.

I want to thank all of those involved in my rescue, those who continuously tracked my captors and location, and those who physically brought me freedom today.
