Is there a support page for the Bergdahl family?

I know there is a trash page attacking them on facebook.

If there is a well run support page I'd like to know.

I'm somewhat ambivalent about Bowe Bergdahl's reported actions in combat BUT I think that should be up to the military to judge and handle.

And I think the attacks on his family are utterly despicable, pathetic, and beyond the pale.

Apologies if this was asked and answered, if so please just post the link. Thanks.

It breaks my heart to think what his parents must be going through. All the years waiting and now the joy that their son is recovered ... but then to face all this stupid hate.

It just isn't right. Sure their son may have made a very serious mistake. (or maybe he was set up because his "buddies" already didn't like him ... I have my opinion but the truth is we don't know.) But how the hell - even if it is true - would that make it right to take it out on the parents?

The further the reich-wing scumbags go with this, the more I'm inclined to support not only the parents but the kid. Even though I am a vet myself and desertion is a serious charge. But I know some of the other shit that happens in the military so I am not going to automatically believe the stories.
