One area soldier was part of the effort which helped capture Saddam Hussein. Army Specialist Ernest Soole of Neosho was just one of the 600 soldiers who were involved in the capture. His family in Neosho was informed early Sunday morning about the capture, and received a phone call from their son in Iraq later that night. Soole has been in the military for two years, and family members were very excited to get the news.
"He called me last night and he said,did you hear what happened? I`ve been up since 5:30. he said. I aksed him if he`s happy. He said yeah,"said wife Julie Soole. Soole is expected to be back in Neosho next year around mid-March or early April.
