fact-finding mission into the attack. the sudden resignation means his deputy will testify instead. the fbi had been investigating threatening e-mails sent to another woman said to be a family friend. investigators determined he did not have anything to do with the e-mails still members of congress said they should have been confidentially briefed. and may still call the general to testify. many wish it didn't have to come to this. we know that paula also is married, has two children. really just a tragedy all around. >> it is. >> there's a lot of talk about whether he should have actually resigned or not considering what's about to happen with the testimony and everything. >> one of the things is first of all, you have a secret affair. and a secret affair, those things can be exploited. and then also you have a code of

conduct. and it says that he engaged in inappropriate behavior and behavior he certainly would not accept from his subordinates and holds himself to a higher standard. >> you talked about the woman in this having two kids. what about holly patraeus? >> she was starting up the office of service member affairs and we had a lot to talk about because we are both daughters of military officers and the military is her life. and she also has been giving so much of her time to advocating on behalf of service members and their families and i know all of this is making people that know her sick and they really really hope that she's going to be able to get through this and her work advocating for service members will continue. >> good work. thank you so much. a busy week ahead for

president barack obama as he works to avoid the fiscal cliff. tomorrow he will meet with business leaders. set to hold talks with leaders of congress. and have until january to reach a compromise or $700 million of tax increases or spending cuts will take affect. secretary of homeland security is visiting some of the hardest hit areas. insured residents of the recovery efforts being made. her visit comes from many are still in the dark two weeks after the storm. 120,000 still without power. new york governor has criticized the companies for being unprepared. power companies say they are doing all they can. >> some other top stories this morning. investigators hope surveillance video will help

>> 200 people have been evacuated. on sunday, some were allowed to return to their homes but not without taking precaution. >> we had a police officer escorted us back there and a fire chief that walked through the house with us. he would go into the rooms and make sure they were all right to walk through before we were able to go in there. >> others were denied access to the residence. the homes deemed too unsafe. >> we want to get in and get more things so we can get ourselves situated. >> donations have been pouring in. meanwhile, authorities are investigating why the blast occurred and have not ruled out any possibilities. some residents say they are eager to know what could have caused some destruction. >> it was a lot of destruction. whatever caused this destruction which as of right now i don't believe has been determined, i'm excited to find out. i really want to know. >> early damage estimated suggests repair costs could be

millions of men and women have sacrificed their lives. thousands lose their lives in battle. today we honor them and learn more from those who survived. we have a full panel here today. joining me thousand three veterans are our area from the korean war good morning to you. and colonel david clark. 60 anniversary of the war anniversary. thank you for being with us. sergeant robert miles is first class. good morning to you. sitting next to me charles mcgee with the tugeegee airman. good morning to you. and last but not least major kurt lee.

first chinese american officer in the marine corp. we're sitting with living history today. still vibrant and we want to hear your stories. first, i want to ask you colonel clark about this drive and mission to honor this special group of veterans that are often overlooked. >> it's said the korean war is the forgotten war. back in 2010 with the start which was the 60th anniversary, congress designated the stand up of the 60th anniversary committee. department of defense took the lead. the army has the lead within the department of defense to make this period. we want to make it as vibrant and wonderful as possible to try to correct some of that perception that the war was forgotten.

to their service was forgotten. >> it is not forgotten. >> you have a special presentation. but i want to hear these stories. what we try to do here today is bring the three of you gentleman together and have you talk a bit before we came here. my first question is what did you all talk about? >> shake a hand and share in the times that we didn't realize we were probably almost rubbing shoulders and to be able to shake a hand and represent the others is a real pleasure. >> did you share war stories or just to say we're here and i'm going to go out on a limb and say you didn't ever say we're getting our due now because men and women i've talked to that have served like this, that doesn't come out of their mouths. did you talk about the time you shared together in the

korean war? >> just a little. i was with the 19th regiment in the infantry. and the colonel was flying above us shooting at the enemy from airplanes right over top of us. he supported us. >> when you spoke earlier with your fellow in arms, what was the discussion like earlier today here? >> well, unfortunately, i didn't get too involved with discussing with them about the war. although, i'm very knowledgeable about the situation. it was a very urgent situation when the marines had to form a complete division to help affect the landing. and the marines

had to reactivate a unit, a whole regiment. but within a period of only two weeks, we went to war. so the training was very on the job out there in korea. we were involved my particular unit with the landing battle. the first chinese intervention and at the chosen reservoir. of all these men that were out there, 27 out of 220 who went initially, only 27 were able to board ship in the final evacuation from korea. >> let me ask you, sir, as the first asian american officer in

the corp you were asked to translate right? and you said no i want to fight? >> i wasn't really the first chinese or asian american in the marine corp. i was the first regular officer of asian extraction. and my intention was to join the marine corp to fight and not to serve as a translator. >> to fight the communist. >> yes. >> let me ask you colonel mcgee, you flew 409 missions in several different conflicts; correct? >> yes. >> awarded the medal of honor by president bush. when you sit here today on veteran's day, what goes through your mind as you sit here in your uniform today? >> realizing that we represent an important bit of our country's history and what it

meant to support allies and preserve south korea at the time. certainly, some gave their full measure and we solute them and remember them on an occasion like this and realize we're sitting here representing a great number of americans. >> the story of the tuskegee airman has been told and that honor is coming to this special group of men. how does that sit opposed with the korean war and as colonel davis said -- clark said earlier, often forgotten war. how does that sit in contrast and how about this feeling being forgotten at times? >> we have to understand we were

supporting united nations resolution and hadn't declared war against japan or china but we were supporting the conflict. and that's why many folks don't understand that there's a difference there and certainly the political ramifications of what determines the outcome. and we still have a divided korea. we're not happy over the lives that were lost but we are glad south korea is standing tall. >> last but not least, i want to talk about your service. joined the army in 1948 and five campaigns during your service. when you sit here today, what is the main message you'd like the viewers to know not just about the war but about service as a whole? >> preparedness. that would be my message. we were totally unprepared.

it was terrible. officers were real short . supervision was real short. people were real short. we gave up everything after world war ii and just came home. and here we are spread out worldwide with a half a million people in the army. and it wasn't enough. we are bound to do the same thing about. unload the military and i think it's a terrible mistake. we have to keep a high standard of military on hand for these things that strike like lightning. >> my humble apologies colonel clark on that. you have a very special presentation. we wanted to save time for that. >> as you may know, as part of our activity, we're trying to reach as many veterans as we can

during the 3 year period. we've already reached thousands. one of the special things we do when we attend events is try to present a certificate and put a certificate appreciation in the hands of each of our veterans. signed by the secretary of events. and if you look at their chest, they have all the accolades the nation can give them. why the korean war is important. why it was fought. why these sacrifices are made. and this is a small token of our appreciation from a grateful nation. i would like to present the crtificates to these three gentleman who will have to find a place in their busy walls to put it up. but if i could do that. >> yes, sir. >> and also i'd like to say to all-american veterans out there, happy veteran's day. this is a wonderful day.

should be commemorated across the country and we're happy to be a part of it. what i'd like to do is quickly read the certificate. it reads in recognize of honorable service during the korean war in democracy and freedom. through your sacrifice, liberty triumphed over teerny. and signed secretary of defense. if i could present this to you mr. miles on behalf of a grateful nation and the department of defense. thank you for your honorable service. >> thank you, sir. >> colonel mcgee. on behalf of a grateful nation. thank you for an honorable service. >> thank you. appreciate that. >> major lee on behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for

an honorable service. >> thank you. >> all of you, thank you so much for being here. we'll be right back. >> thank you. you.
