Seems Jessica is still staying busy with the occasional public appearance, even with the handful that little Dakota Ann no doubt is to her mom and dad; anyway, the West Virginia Chapter of the Knights of Columbus honored former POWs from West Virginia yesterday, and she was the featured speaker. There's several stories on the function and her visit, and here are the links:

If anyone can save the videos (if any) from the TV stations, let the group know. There was a site a while back that had videos of Jessica, Shoshana, and the rest of the 507th (including the Dateline interviews with the other 5 POWs, as well as Mohammed's), at numerous events. Unfortunately, it got taken down. Anyone know what happened? Anyone care to bet that Dakota Ann has probably already said her first words, and the first one was probably "NO!"

Thanks Matt. She'll probably be speaking for the rest of her life, but at least she knows what she is talking about.
