Nearly two years after a trip to meet the woman he loved turned into an imprisonment in a Venezuelan jail, an exhausted but grateful Utah man has arrived home with his wife.

Josh Holt arrived at the Salt Lake City airport to a tearful, cheering crowd holding signs in his favourite colour, green, with messages such as: "We never gave up."
His grandmother draped an American flag around his shoulders as he exchanged long hugs with person after person while the crowd sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."
