John Hammar To Be Released From Mexican Prison

. . . According to FOX News:

DEVELOPING: Jon Hammar, the U.S. Marine imprisoned in Mexico on a gun charge, will be released today, his mother told Fox News Radio.

 Olivia Hammar said the judge hearing Hammar's case issued a ruling in his favor and that her son is to be released at a time on Friday yet to be announced. No more details were available. Hammar, 27, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been stuck in a notorious, drug cartel-controlled prison just 15 miles south of the U.S. border since Aug. 13, after he crossed into Mexico and declared an antique shotgun to Mexican customs officials.

Glad tidings coming just four days before Christmas.  I dare say this is best Christmas gift ever for the Hammar family . . .  and certainly good news for all of us at a time when good news seems hard to find.
