Watch Sergeant Bergdahl's parents tearfully speak about his return

Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. sergeant who was held in Taliban captivity for nearly five years, was released into American custody on Saturday. Now, his parents are speaking out about their son's return.

"We've been working very, very hard for your release these past five years along with the whole of our government, even other governments and, most especially, Qatar, never losing hope in you or for you," Jani Bergdahl said to her son during a news conference in Boise, Idaho on Sunday.
