and that is to thank you for the extraordinary service. i thank you as your commander in chief, because you inspire me. your willingness to serve, to step forward at a time of war and say, send me, is the reason that the united states stays strong and free. >> i want to bring in reuter's investigative reporter david roew, and very familiar with afghanistan and let's talk about the president's speech. the only headline in addition to the president thanking the troops for their service is the bilateral security agreement, and for folks who are not f familiar with wit, what is it and where does it stand? >> it is an agreement to allow the american troops to stay in afghanistan in a training role. at the end of this year, the role will end, and they are talking about a residual force

to remain there to train the afghans, but they can't stay there unless this agreement is signed. president karzai has refused to sign it. so both of the candidates for president have said they would sign it. it is a political move for him to go to afghanistan to show that he is meeting with the troops to show support. >> and he is not going to meet with karzai, and what is he going to do? >> he is going to want to show that we have a small group of forces to train the forces, and that is an effective way to help ir afghanistan. as we left iraq, and that was not the best plan, and so this is a better plan. >> by the end of this year, the transition will be complete, and

afghans will take full responsibility for their security and our combat mission will be over. america's war in afghanistan will come to to a responsible end. >> so president obama there, again, david, as we heard there, and there was not a major foreign policy, and not a major foreign policy speech or national security speech, but he is going to be addressing the gr graduates at west point this wednesday and that is when we can expect to hear something like that from the president? >> yes, and he will give the speech wednesday and for the next several weeks, there are going to be speeches from the cabinet, and this is a push for the president to seize control of the foreign policy, and be aggressive and articulate an obama doctrine if you will. he has been pushed around and seen as reacting in ukraine and seen as weak, and things are bad in iraq, and not doing enough in syria according to the critics and finally trying again in a speech at west point to say what

this obama doctrine is. >> and any idea what that doctrine might look like? >> it is standing up to russia and china without getting into dumb war s s is the simplest wao put it. but the burden on the president, and he has a solid foreign policy record is to have a way to say that concisely and clearly and talk about american leadership. he was very criticized for his trip in asia that you hit a single here and a double there, and the americans don't want that from their president, because foreign policy is an opportunity for the president to be bolder, and he has years left and some real achievements, but he is not selling it well politically. >> and let's pivot, because we love to get our money's worth out of david rohde. it appears in ukraine that petro

plea shen c pla shen c pew shen coe is going to be the n next leader. and this is not clear what putin is doing, because with the sanctions in place gaiagainst putin, will he back off and work with the new leader of ukraine? it could become a positive story for the administration if this new leader is pragmatic and can make the compromises. >> this is what vladimir putin said about the election friday. >> translator: we will have respect out of the choices that people will make, and we will watch closely what will happen. >> we will have respect for the choice -- what does that mean? >> well, it is for vladimir putin that is pretty good. maybe he is conditioning all of us to take whatever he is going to throw out there, but if you can -- if no one got to vote in the two provinces in the east that want to separate, that is only 15% of the electorate, and so 85% of the country voted in large numbers, and they have

been elected the new president with over 50% majority and that is a clear statement, and this is a good election, and more observers from the ofse and it is a good turnout and what the ukrainians wanted. >> it is what the elections were what you thought -- at least it does not appear that the violence that happened there had a tremendous effect on the turnout? >> well, it was, and 15% of the people in the breakaway provinces didn't get to vote which is terrible, but it is clearly a statement of the majority of the yukrainians of what they want, and they want to be part of europe. >> and moving forward, what are you thinking? >> well, putin has got what he wanted, crimea was the main thing, and the naval base there and a terrific story about all of the gas reserves around crimea that he gets as well, and at this point, he will be sending the troops into eastern ukraine and he is good at pushing the limits and then realizing when it is hot, and

serious economic sanctions, he backs off. so ukraine will settle down for a little bit now. >> and thank you so much, david, from reuters, and we thank you for your perspectives as always. now we turn our attention to the stabbing and shooting in california. we know that the suspect, 22-year-old elliot rodger shot himself in the head, and now deputies are combing through 12 separate crime scenes and before the suspect began the rampage, he apparently stabbed and killed three people at his residence. then he hopped in the black bmw and killed two people outside of the alpha pi sorority house. and then shot some people in a deli, and this is inside of that

deli as customers were running for safety. we know the names of three of the dead. catherine cooper, veronica weiss and christopher martinez. the names of the remain iing victims are expected to be released at any moment, and meanwhile, the father of chris martinez spoke saturday. >> why did chris die? chris died because of the craven irresponsible politicians, and the nra. they talk about the gun rights. what about chris's right to live? >> right now the deputies are looking at a 140-page manifesto that the killer wrote as well as several videos that he recorded as well, a nd he sent the manifest toe to the people including the parents who are reportedly searching for him

frantically when they seized it. jennifer bjorklund is live for us in santa barbara, and i know that the last time we spoke you indicated that we might learn more of the names of the victi s s. do we have them yet? >> no, they promised to walk it out in the form of a press release within the hour. i will let you know when we have that information. i did speak with the sheriff earlier today, and he told me that they are doing as complete an investigation as they would if they expected to have a suspect to prosecute. every shell casing is being document and the drirection of the bullets, and in the case of the first three victims the stab wounds, and their causes of death will be autopsied, because they owe that to the families, the victims to learn from this horrible incident to make sure that it never happens again, craig. >> and jennifer, quickly, at this point, do we know whether the victims were targeted specifically or was this fairly

random, and by random, i mean, was he seeking out one person or two people specifically or did he just take that semiautomatic pistol and just open fire? >> well, not shure. and you know, if you reed the manifesto, you know the types of people that he was after, and those guys that always get the girl, and the women, and the good-looking blonds and he wants to go to the sorority where he had determined had the in his words "hottest women on campus" and he went and knocked on the door there, and then he fired upon three women across the street. he killed two of those women there. and we also know that he did plan to kill his roommates, the people in his house. what his original plan was from the manifesto that we are reading is that he wanted to kill them to get them out of the way so that he could lure people into the apartment, and kill them there. apparently, that didn't happen, because he went on the rolling rampage through isla vista the, but we don't know for instance

why target the deli? we don't have any information on that and the people there if he had any particular gripe against them. >> we have heard from his parents at least through the attorney, jennifer. any indication how much advanced notice they had? i mean, we know that according to the reports he had been in therapy of some sort since the age of 8. any additional red flags they talked a sn aed about? >> well, they had been concerned about him a couple of weeks and that is when they sent the deputies for the welfare check. and there was a report that the parents had called 911. we heard from the sheriff spokesperson who came outside and talked to us that he was only hearing that from the news media reports that they had not heard that it had happened friday night before the attacs.s so there is conflicting information, and it is just reported in the media and the sheriff's department is trying to catch up with that. so officially, no, there is no

report that the parents tried to contact anyone frantically, but that is what is out there, so, they are following up on that in the build beg hind me, and they have a lot of work to do, craig. >> and jennifer bjorklund standing by in california for us. i want to bring in nfbi analyst clint van zandt. i have sifted through manifesto, and it is difficult to make sense of a lot of it. but what lead ss a person who harbors these kinds of feelings to put them down on paper before doing something like this? >> if he puts them down on pa r paper, number one, it is kind of like talking in a mirror, and you can hear what you say, and you get to read it, and refine it, and realize that it is suggested that he

asberger's syndrome, and sometimes your ability to keep things in order, and relate to people are issues that are challenged. look, as we read this, not only does he plan on committing the horrific murders of the roommates of the women on campus, and other people, but he talks about killing his stepmother, and his younger brother, because he does not want his younger brother to have a chance to do better in life than he did. i mean, this guy was so challenged, and yet, this is the type of guy that is smart, and he has the ability, craig, to wear a mask. and he can wear a mask out in public, and pass himself out as reasonable, and you know, he can converse in his own way, but when he got back in that fantasy world again and started writing and thinking, this is the guy he had saved every offense that he believed that anybody had ever committed gaiagainst him in lif

and this is the way that he was going to act out. his target was anybody, because he hated everybody. >> the associated press, his family members of the suspect as you indicated or jennifer just indicated are contacting the deputies for the welfare check, and the sheriff talked about that specifically last night. this is what he said. >> they determined that he did not meet the criteria for an invol involuntary mental health hold. he was as i said courteous and polite, and appeared timid and shy. he did not meet the criteria for 5150 of the institution's code which is what would authorize him being held temporarily for an examination. >> in is what is mind boggling to me, clint. based on the -- again, what we have read and heard, it sounds like there were multiple red flags as one guest said earlier, red flags waving in the wind,

and how could they miss some of this stuff? or it is that the law is soan antiquated that the hands are tie theed. >> well, the first line of defense is the family. he is 22 years old, and the parents are separated, and he does not see much of them. as a parent, when you are dealing with someone with a syndrome of this, and a mental health issue that cannot be resolved. you can go to therapy, but you can't take a pill and be better for something like that, parents oo either ignore it, and hope it is going to go away and through therapy or college he is going to be better, and then the hex int line of defense is the friends, and the people around you. he doesn't have friends per se. he does not have everybody around him who apparently he doesn't get along with. so we lose that line of defense. then we have mental health workers who are counseling him doing the best they can, and when the police show up, craig,

their whole objective is do you present a credible threat to yourself or to others? this guy is smart enough. he may not understand the codes of you and i talking, and he may not know the code of getting a date with a girl, but he understands how he can present himself as timid as meek as mild and, oh, officer, just a mistake. they had no reason to hold this guy. until we get a better way to diagnose this, these guys will slip between the cracks. this is number 104 mass shootings and mass murders in the united states this year. most of these people probably have some significant challenge going on in their life before they did this and once again, we didn't identify them ooeither. >> 104. had not heard that number until you said it on our air. that is staggering.

quickly, clint, we spent a fair amount of time talking about nancy lanza and adam lanza and folks wondered aloud if there was enough done, and here was a situation where the parents had the son in therapy at the age of 8. contacted the police on one or two occasions that where they did that, but if the guy is 22 years old, what more can the parents do? i mean, what is left to do? in a situation like this? >> and the answer may be that there is not a lot more that you can do. you can pay for the therapy and pay for the therapist, but you can't get him hospitalized against his will. he does not present himself in that way. and if he is straight himself from the family, if he e tells the parents what they want to hear, and oh, i'm doing okay and i have the apartment, and i'm going to college, and the parents are happy hearing some

level of success, and they back away from him, he backed away are the the rest of the world. >> nbc analyst and former fbi profiler, clint van zandt. and thank you as always. and prayer and politics. pope francis is visiting the birthplace of jesus, and he is trying to end the stalemate in the middle east peace talks. i don't want to think about the alternative. i don't even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last. i try not to worry, but you worry. what happens when your paychecks stop? because everyone has retirement questions. ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. to get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today.

the president of israel and the president of palestine have just said yes to a historic invitation from pope francis, the pope is travel ing on a mideast pilgrimage and invited the two rivals to join him at the vatican in hopes of reigniting peace talks. meanwhile, the pope continues the travels with the stop in

jerusalem, and claudio lavanga is there. >> the pope is entirely bypassing israel which means he supports a sovereign and independent state there, but then he went further. he was the first pope to coalesce the state of palestine and supports the united nations resolution which assign totd ede palestinian territory as observer. and the most was when pope francis made off of the cuff decision while he was in the pope mobile in bethlehem, he got off and stood in front of the wall erected to stop and pray in front of the graffiti that said "free palestine."

so he made it clear that he does not want to be alone, so he invited the israeli and palestinian presidents to join him in what he calls a prayer for peace back at the vatican in a month. he is staying in jerusalem where he is staying in the final day of the holy land before he returns to the vatican tomorrow. >> thank you, claudio, in jerusalem. >> and a live look there at the big apple. we will take a look at the memorial day forecast on the other side of the break. scott: okay, neighbors, here's the top-drawer skinny. scotts wraps each seed in a brilliant water smart plus coating, that feeds, protects, and holds in moisture to make growing thicker, healthier grass easier. now let's spread your newfound knowledge! seed your lawn. seed it! really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month?

welcome back. it is a busy sunday for president obama, with the president making a surprise trip to afghanistan to see the u.s. troops there. he landed at bagram airfield a few hours ago, 9:00 local time. he met with the regional

military commanderers for an update on the strategy in to a region. he is not meeting with the afghan president hamid karzai. susan rice and other officials traveled with president obama as well. this is new video we just got in, and brad paisley was on air force one as well, and he performed for the troops. the president spoke for roughly 32,000 troops who are slated to come home by the end of the year. >> by the end of this year, the transition will be complete, and afghans will take full responsibility for their security and our combat mission will be over. america's war in afghanistan will come to a responsible end. >> and the other developing story back here in california, police continue to scour at least a dozen crime scenes in friday's mass shooting that left

seven people dead including the gunman. 13 of the feem who were shot are still recovering and two of them are in serious condition this aft afternoon. we want to talk about that now with the brain trust. we have an analyst and contribute for for the grio, and also joining us is ken blackwell, a senior fellow from the family research council, and the former mayor of cincinnati, ohio, and kim, i want to start with you, the father of one of the victims of the friday night shooting laid the blame yesterday and he was clear, and this is what he said, take a listen. >> why did chris die? chris died because of craven irresponsible politicians and the nra. they talk about gun rights. what about chris' right to live? >> kim blackwell, we know the conversation going to happen in the next few days which is a conversation that we always have after a mass shooting like this,

and how did it happen? how did we miss the red flags, and we knew that there were three semiautomatic pistols found next him and over 400 rounds of ammunition as well. what say you to that? how does something like that continue to happen in this country? 104 mass shootings since january 1. >> you know, i wonder if i missed something. my understanding is that some of the victims were stabbed to death, and others of the victims were hit by a car that he was driving and all of the sudden, one weapon is in fact under attack, and not only is it under attack, but people are talk thing about stepping on the constitutional rights of law abiding people. and i have talked with a lot of -- >> ken, let me sbur rupt you for a second, because i don't -- i didn't mean to attack guns. that is not what i was trying to do there, but what i was trying to do is to lay out the facts,

and the fact is that this is a mass, considered a mass shooting by the government's definition. the 104th of the year, and here is a kid who had been in treatment since the age of 8. here's someone that the police is his own parents called the police and they raised the red flag, and he was able to get his hands on a number of guns, and open fire in the inchrdiscrimin nature. >> i understand what you are saying, but i am also laying out the comprehensive that we have a depraved individual, and somena he was also mentally disturbed, but what we don't know that yet, but what with we do know is that people are concerned about the information that was kept from the public based on his first amendment rights and all of the sudden, the conversation is going to go to the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens, when the weapons that were used by this

individual were a car, knife, guns, and let's talk about what it is in the system that doesn't flag this sort of personality early in the process. >> well, bob, is that the problem? we will get to you in a second, but is that the prob e lem, bob? >> well, the problem with this particular case, and ken is exactly right, because it is a multil multilayered case. you have the stabbings, and of course, he did have the guns, and the question of how we deal with the people who are mentally ill as he obviously was is a problem that we have been having for some time. but it is multilayered, and at the same time, i think that sooner or later, people are going to have to stop tiptoeing around this, and say, that the yes, some of the 300 million gun guns that people po ses in this country need to be taken away, and it is far too easy to get the weapons of mass destruction. >> and taken away from people who have especially demonstrated that they have legitimate mental

illness. >> well, i have a problem of the sort of the framing that he was diagnosed with autism or had some sort of mental illness and we don't know the extent of the mental illness, and autism does not mean that somebody is going to be violent, and what is disturbing is the anti-woman and the anti-misogynistic views that were in the manifesto and saying that he was going the shoot women indiscriminantly that would not go out for him, and that is something with a foundation on line and it is the men's right movement and it is antimisogynistic, and it is violence that can be also addre addressed. >> and now, my colleague karen finney wrote, this is a hate crime. she glean ed this, frustrated b the fact that women, inferior creatures that he felt like he was entitled to, rejected him

romantical romantically, and he decided to get even. why is this -- why has this nugget been lost in all of this, do you think? >> because we don't want to talk about the fact that 18% of the women are killed and murdered by the intimate partners and this is an epidemic, 1 in 4 women are sexually assaulted in the course of their lifetime, and men are committing the crime largely because they cannot control or because it is a domestic violence situation or he is entitled because he is a nice guy. well, if you are a nice guy, you are not going to shoot random people on the street for not agreeing to your romantic advances. >> i agree with that wholeheartedly. and that is absolutely correct. focus on the problem. and that is -- >> well, apathy as well. that is also part of it. >> and he had access to a bmw, and he had access to the knife,

and what are we going to do? >> so he can kill more people -- >> and excuse me, are we going to -- >> and there were more kids that died in swimming pools, and more kids that died in swimming pools last year than died at the hands of the mass violence committed with guns. so, you know -- >> and now, make a point. >> and how many death dos we have to have before we talk about this -- >> and kim, let me stop you for a second. >> and how many kids -- >> okay. ken, let me stop you, because we can't hear you. >> and let me start with the idea of the obvious misogyne, and the country is more and more violent and turning to guns, and again, weapons of mass destruction, and more and more, and in the old days, he probably would have gone and sulked somewhere or had a temper tantrum and now he is taking various weapons whether they are guns or knives and killing someone, and we are having a cheapening of life somewhere.

>> yes. absolutely. >> and ken, can we all agree that there are people who live among us who should not have access to semiautomatic weapons? >> yes, we can agree on that and that means that ewith have to change the laws who will not protect those who have those sorts of defects? >> you mean universal background checks then? >> no, what i am saying is that we have to make the information, make that the information public. i would agree with you that criminals with guns need to be stopped. and we need to start in chicago, illinois. >> what? what? >> that is how you want to end it? what? >> you have a prob e lem with that? >> and the problem is that what you are advocating is the national rifle association -- >> excuse me, those the lives that are taken in chicago, illinois, with by criminals with

guns are just as valuable. so we have enough laws to put the violent criminals away, and i say this talking to law enforcement officials across the country that we have a problem with the public officials who need to -- >> i have to interrupt you, because we are out of time, but bob, i will let you have the last word here, because senator richard blumenthal made the point this morning on the sunday morning shows that you have to wonder if the universal background checks in a situation like this might have prevented this guy from getting a gun, and you have to wonder about it? >> no, i don't wonder, but it is a step in the right direction, but the craven and irresponsible politicians that the victim's father was speaking about just cower at the national rifle association and other people in the gun lobby. >> and thank you so much. bob franken, and ken blackwell, and kim, i know you wanted to jump in there, but we ran out of time. >> okay. >> you can tweet ken, he is all

over twitter, i'm sure. >> i will. >> all righty then. good to be here. >> and the equality honored in a new way, and more now from our friends at "now this news." this a woman who loves to share her passions. grandma! mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts her at a greater risk of stroke. rome? sure! before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history. back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine.

for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary.

rate them on the number of atta attacks. they say they provide accurate information, but looking into it, there are gaps. and joining us is a survivor who was attacked at beloit college in 1997. jessica, first of all, i'm w wondering why you chose to come forward when so many survivors want to remain anonymous. >> i actually did want to remain anonymous in the beginning of things. after the attack happened, i really wanted to just go away. i wanted to the just go back to my life. but, the way that the school handled it, and the way that once i started talking to other friends and people who had dealt with similar things, i noticed that so many of us had dealt with the same situations with people not believing us, and people wanting to sweep our rains under the rug, and people

not wanting to support us, and so, i have been working for the last 17 years or so to change the way that the things work for us. >> and let's talk about some of the work here. let's talk about specifically the push for princeton review to rank the schools bisexual assault incidents ark and we contacted the company, and they said in part, quote, since 2008, the princeton review has had a campus and safety information page on the site, a nd tnd that company regularly updates with the general advice and links to resources for students on safety issues. we went back to check the links to all of the 378 schools listed as the best by princeton review and found that more than one-third were broken links or didn't have a link at all. what do you make of that? >> absolutely. >> how much did that surprise you? >> not at all. i think that colleges really see their campus safety as not as

much of a selling point. that is something that we really want to change with this campaign. what we are asking the princeton review is to add a couple of questions into the survey. if they can ask about the party life, they can certainly ask about the campus safety and ask about the way that the colleges handle sexual assaults. >> here are a couple of the examples of what it looked like when we isolated and clicked on the university of southern california's link for instance, and it is a broken one. this is what we got when we clicked on the harvard's link, and there it is. this is off of the princeton review's website where the crime stats are listed as not reported. how does this happen? >> well, it happens, because it is not a priority. it happens because they have people not keeping up that information. first of all, a reported rain is a difficult statistic because people don't come forward

because of what you do, and that is a tricky statistic to rely on in the first point. secondly, i just think that it is not a priority for so many campuses that something absolutely needs to change. if people are not working on the information and you have old information and broken information. it is not acceptable. >> jessica skolnik thank you for your time, and there is so much more information about this investigation on the website and more numbers and facts and more of jessica's story as well. we are going to be staying on top of the story, and update you on it as well as msnbc.com. up next, a new way of bringing that history to life for a whole new generation. mine was earned in korea in 1953.

call... today. liberty mutual insurance -- responsibility. what's your policy? facing a foe that often outnumbered then 10-1, they marched through temperatures that sometimes reached 20 below zero. 20,000 trapped in a reservoir,

slogging and fighting their way 60 bitter miles to the evacuation port. through snow clad mountains and icy passes, they held off 200,000. >> that was how americans at home heard about one of the worst battles of the korean war, the fight for control of the reservoir remains one of the most storied in history. outnumbered 10-1, trapped behind enemy lines. u.s. marines fought back wave after wave of chinese attacks. eventually they made it to the sea and they made it to safety. now two marines, both veterans of iraq, are telling the story of that campaign in a way that's never been done before.

>> they've just finished "baptism by fire," the animated film we just saw that short clip from. both of you marines drkting it. before we talk about the film itself, why this particular battle? >> the chosen reservoir campaign is taught to every single marine when they go through boot camp or ocs. when we got out of the marine corps we realized that no film had been made since the '60s about korea in general and no feature documentary had ever been made about chosen. it is such a huge part of our history, we felt it was our job to make this happen before these men left us. >> why animated? why that genre or format? >> we started with the documentary which did very well. it will be on the mesh heroes channel tomorrow night, 9:00, 8:00 central. we realized we were reaching a much younger audience to get them interested in the reian k

war. we don't learn that through high school or even college. we thought to try to adapt to a format that attracted a younger audience. hopr worked alongside us to bring the story to life in a completely different way. >> how does a marine become a filmmaker? >> that's a pretty funny question. i went to film skoor chool at t university of pittsburgh first. did a couple tour as infantry officer. thought if nobody's going to do it, we got to do it for us. we cashed in our life savings. zpr rolled the dice. you mentioned this documentary you produced previously interviewing many of the men who survived. general colin powell called that film "deeply moving." his words. >> we were shooting -- not just me, all of us were shooting. and the machine guns were

shooting and the aircraft were coming in at that time. it was carnage in the valley. >> you'd kill 100, another 100 would come come up. they just would make mass attacks come into our machine gun fire. >> outnumbered 10-1. i don't think unless you've studied a great deal of history in high school or college, this is not a battle that you knew about. >> if you weren't in the marine corps or you aren't a huge history buff you probably know nothing of it. but 10-1 odds. 25 degrees below zero in midday, 40 degree below zero at night, not only did they fight their way out but whenever they got to the port to be evacuated, they held their ground for three more days and they evacuated 98,000 refugees from north korea to live in the south that had followed them down to the port. >> someone who's served this country and spent the past few years crisscrossing the country talking to other people who have served, tomorrow, memorial day, lots of folks will cook out, lots of folks won't go to work

but a lot of folks don't necessarily take that time to think about why we have the holiday. for you, what is the most important thing that the average american should remember on memorial day tomorrow? >> i think the most important thing, first, is to remember that we still have men and women serving overseas every day to protect us. the second thing is to remember that we have the freedoms that we do because hundreds of thousands of americans have given their lives. they've pledged to protect our nation in time of war and some of them didn't come home. so whatever you are enjoying your barbecue or your time at the beach or whatever you decide to do this weekend, if you just take five minutes to think about those young men and women, that's important. >> anton, thank you so much for telling these stories and thank you for your service as well. watch "chosen" tomorrow night on the american heroes channel. we should let you know that just a few moments ago air force one took off from afghanistan bound for washington. president obama was on the ground at bagram air feel for just about four hours. he met with regional military
