Friends and neighbors turn out for a prayer vigil Sunday afternoon, one day after the brothers were rescued from an Amber Alert situation.
"They wanted to be with their friends." And so said a neighbor Sunday afternoon in Suwanee Town Center Park, moments before Ben and Henry Cleary arrived at a prayer vigil and homecoming in their honor.
