week in afghanistan over 20 years. everybody says you could have gotten out without anybody being hurt. no one's come up with a way and numbers to indicate a way that happens. so there are certain things that are just so important. >> reporter: as for what it's like for him to have his wife of 44 years at his side through all of this -- >> every time my helicopter lands when we get out and when i come home from wherever i am, she is standing on the balcony. no, i'm serious. >> you're a lucky man! >> i am. i'm a lucky man. >> smile. >> she says joe, you're too emotional. you're too emotional. and she is right. but look -- >> over her? >> well, i am. i am, i am, i am. and jill is the life of my love and the love of my life. but just a matter of just be

moeller organ that was historic. you can see some of the court of appealing of the portico here. you can see where that's fallen in, and the brickwork is all over the steps. thanks be to god the parts of the building that came down didn't come down on us. i realize that it might be the last few moments of my life on this earth, and i was very glad to be with my wife. i know her prayer and mine was that we might be spared. i was afraid for my children, what would happen to them and how they would respond to this. my daughter is going to be married in march, and i'm supposed to do the service. and i was thinking of that quite a bit as the tornado was bearing down on us. all i care about is the fact that the most valuable possessions in my life, my wife's life, my children, they're all safe. and everything else is replaceable. >> and that's the "overnight news" for this tuesday. our coverage of the tornado disaster continues on "cbs mornings" and online at cbsnews.com.
