Soldier�s wife joins lawmakers� appeal The wife of a kidnapped Israeli soldier joined top Democrats and Republicans in Congress in appealing for the release of her husband and other captives.
U.S. Reps. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.), Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) held a news conference Tuesday with Karnit Goldwasser, whose husband, Ehud, is one of two Israeli soldiers being held captive in Lebanon.
A third is being held captive in Gaza.
The lawmakers introduced a resolution calling for the soldiers� release.
�I don�t want them to be forgotten,� Goldwasser said. �For us it means the world.�
Ackerman called on the public �to not let these men become objects of memory before they are gone. They are not gone.�
Goldwasser said she would be willing to talk with Lebanese women to try to win the soldiers� release.
�I think that women-to-women can help end this conflict,� she said.
