Rescued hostages head for Florida

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Three Americans freed after being held more than five years by rebels in Colombia are giving thanks and urging people to not forget other hostages who were left behind.

The three men are heading home to Florida after 10 days of treatment in Houston at Brooke Army Medical Center.

Former hostage Marc Gonsalves said he boarded a plane for home Saturday with Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell that the three men were going to rest ''unwind for about a month and a half.,''

They were rescued by the Colombian military on July 2 after being held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
