Kenneth Bae and Matthew Miller, two Americans who were held captive in North Korea, arrived at a Washington state military base Saturday night after their release was secured following a mission to the country by U.S. intelligence official James Clapper, according to the Boston Herald.

Despite the successful return of the two Americans, both Miller and his family have kept quiet since his return from North Korea, according to CNN.

Miller reportedly didn't speak to reporters after he got off the plane in Washington state while his family from Bakersfield, California, had kept away from the media throughout his captivity in North Korea. 25-year-old Miller was reportedly taken into custody in April of this year as North Korean authorities accused him of tearing up his tourist visa and seeking asylum upon entry.

Bae reportedly appeared at a news conference shortly after landing and being greeted by his family.

"I just want to say thank you all for supporting me and standing by me during this time," Bae stated.

He continued, "I'd like to thank DPRK North Korean government, as well - allowing me to come home and be united with our family."

When asked about his health, 46-year-old Bae stated that he was "recovering."

President Obama reportedly expressed appreciation for Clapper's recent efforts as well.

"It's a wonderful day for them and their families," the President stated.

Former North Korean captive and U.S. journalist Laura Ling also released a statement on Sunday regarding the release of the two men.

"I hope their release is a signal of a potential opening between our two countries and that despite our stark differences we may find a common humanity," Ling stated.
