5. SOUNDBITE (English) Christine Levinson, wife of missing former FBI agent believed to be held by the Iranian government:
"Everyday, I wake up and think about him and I know he is alive out there some where trying to make his way home. I hope that he hasn't lost hope. But I want to tell him that we are going to keep trying to bring him home. And we'll continue to do so until he is safely home with us."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dan Levinson, son of missing former FBI agent believed to be held by the Iranian government:
"Once again, he has been left behind. And this has been almost nine years now, and we can't get use to this because we are just going to keep going, but it's just something that has happened to us time and time again. And this was just especially painful."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Dan Levinson, son of missing former FBI agent believed to be held by the Iranian government:
"There were mistakes made by people involved on both sides. And if they can both acknowledge that and work together and resolve these mistakes I think that would lead toward his eventual return home. And that would be giant steps for us."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Dan Levinson, son of missing former FBI agent believed to be held by the Iranian government:
"They have told us there is no evidence to suggest that my dad's not alive. And, if there are people in the government who believe that and they are not doing everything they can that is a big problem for us. Because where is the urgency?"

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dan Levinson, son of missing former FBI agent believed to be held by the Iranian government:
"If they are ok with leaving him behind, someone who has been dedicating his life for this country, what does that say for other people who are serving our country and how are they ever going to expect to have their government support them? And when they go overseas in these dangerous posts, dangerous missions? That's a very big problem for this country if my dad is left behind."
