Gilad Shalit was three years in captivity on Thursday:

• Mother in Israel: Three Years of Waiting
• Baila: The Saddest Anniversary
• Occidental Israeli: Leave No Man Behind? On other Israeli soldiers left behind
• A Soldier’s Mother: A Son of Israel (a huge applause for her in all her hard, hard work in getting Gilad to be #3 in Trending topics in Twitter – I was honored to participate – it’s about letting the world know)
