James Foley's Parents Remember Their Son 
-----------------------------------------


 
The parents of journalist James Foley spoke to reporters on Wednesday
after the U.S. government confirmed the validity of the video showing
their son's beheading. Diane Foley said she is praying for the release
of U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff, who is also shown in the video, as
well as for peace.

Diane Foley: "Jim believed in our country, we're a great country, Jim
was a great American and he believed in the very best of our country. So
I just pray as a country we come together and help there be peace on
Earth, just pray for that, and we pray that somehow Steven and the
others might be spared."
