HAILEY - Hundreds gathered at a local park Wednesday to show the world they are a tight knit community that stands together with Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl.

The crowd's support for Bergdahl continues to grow, and so does their hope. Side by side, friends and strangers walked together with ribbons on at the park.

Close family friends Jeff and Gloria Gunter shared their thoughts with the crowd. They read letters from Bowe's family, including a statement from his girlfriend.

With the lighting of a candle, or the fip of a flashlight, the crowd showed exactly what they came here for: they are not giving up until Bowe comes home.
