“I feel like I’m just floating.' Families of the captured Americans freed in a Ukraine prisoner swap describe the moment they found out they were coming home.
Then, they got unexpected phone calls. “I have your son standing right next to me,” Bunny Drueke recalled a woman from the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia telling her Wednesday. Drueke had been reading a book to her grandson when the phone rang. “I went ‘Alex?’ and I heard him say ‘Hi Momma, it’s me, your favorite child,’” Drueke said as she tearfully recalled hearing her son for the first time since his capture overseas. “I’m free,” he told her.
Huynh’s fiancé, Joy Black, told CNN’s Erin Burnett she was also surprised when she got a call from Saudi Arabia while at work Wednesday. It was an official from the US Embassy on the phone, who quickly handed it over to Huynh. “It was just so amazing to finally get to hear his voice again and speak to him,” Black said. “I was still kind of in shock, so I was like ‘How do I know it’s really you?’ and he said this inside joke we have between each other and instantly I was like, ‘It’s him.
