Frerichs, a Navy veteran, was in Afghanistan working as a civil engineer on construction projects when he was lured into a meeting where he was kidnapped. "For two agonizing years, Mark's family has prayed about his safety and return," Durbin said."They shouldn't be forced to wait a minute longer." His sister has been pressing officials for his release. She said in a statement,"People in the community have been very understanding and tried to show their support for us. We rely on each other but it is important to know the community wants Mark home safely, too."
