The Fogel family is grateful for the support they have received from the community. They are hopeful that the rally will help bring Marc home.

Conclusion

Marc Fogel is an innocent man who has been unjustly detained in Russia for over two years. His family and friends are tirelessly working to secure his release. The rally at the White House is a powerful demonstration of the support for Marc and the demand for his freedom.
