ROSE HILL, Kan. (AP) — A former missionary held hostage for more than a year is recalling the experience as the 15-year anniversary of her abduction approaches.

Members of the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf militant group kidnapped Gracia Burnham and her late husband, Martin, on May, 27, 2001. The Kansas couple had been celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at a Philippines resort.

Gracia Burnham was wounded and her husband died in the June 2002 rescue effort that freed her.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Gracia Burnham still travels about 100 days a year, talking about her captivity.

A few weeks ago, Gracia moved back into the house that the south-central Kansas town of Rose Hill built for her and her family. One of her three children had been living there after a missionary pilot stint.
