return. the u.s. military is saying it's doing everything it can to find him. now the biggest ongoing operation in the eastern afghanistan is the hunt for private first class bowe bergdahl. they're heartbreaking images for a family to watch. in the 28 minutes of footage, a nervous looking private bergdahl says he's scared and misses his friends and family. >> i have my girlfriend, who i was hoping to marry. i have a very, very good family. >> reporter: the u.s. military have condemned the video as taliban propaganda. >> we're very unhappy with the exploitation, public exploitation of a prisoner and the humiliation that goes with that. it violates international law. >> reporter: the soldier from idaho went missing last month. in the video he says he was captured lagging behind a patrol, and prompted by his captor off camera, he gives a message to the people of america. >> please bring us home so that we can be back where we belong and not over here.

wasting our time and our lives. >> reporter: the taliban says it's willing to consider a ransom for his release, but the u.s. military insists there will be no negotiating with terrorists. his father bob bergdahl thanked the american people for their support and asked them to continue to pray for his son. maggie? >> cbs' mandy clark in kabul, afghanistan. thank you, mandy. joining us from hailey, idaho, is bowe bergdahl's former boss at a local coffee house, sue martin. we only know the private from the tape, a man who chokes up when he speaks of missing his family. what can you tell us about him? >> i can understand him being very emotional right now. he's also a very capable young man and very diverse and intelligent, very intelligent young man. >> what is your feeling this morning knowing that your friend

is being held in these conditions? >> it's a struggle for everybody. it's a very difficult situation. i'm concerned, obviously, for bowe and for his family as well. >> have you spoken with them? how are they doing? >> i spoke with bob, bowe's father, yesterday. they are appreciative of their request to remain in privacy at this time. they've asked me to be this person to answer your questions and give a glimpse of bowe and to also allow our coffee shop to be a location for community and people to express their support. >> knowing bowe as well as you do, what do you think will keep him hanging in there during this ordeal? >> bowe is a very strong man.

he's capable of being very athletic and outgoing physically as well as joined the ballet. so i think his internal strength will help him. i think, if there's any way for our country and other countries to let him know that we are supporting him, it will carry him as far as he needs to go. >> sue martin, we thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> joining us now is jere van dyk, a cbs news security and terror consultant. good morning, jere. >> gchl. >> you spent many months in afghanistan with the taliban, you know their code. what are they doing with this8y video? >> they're sending a message to the united states and its allies, and equally they're sending a message to the afghan public. we can treat soldiers, we can treat prisoners better than the americans are treating us. there was arpae story about prir abuse, americans abusing prisoners in afghanistan. what they are saying to the afghan public is that we can do

a better job. do not be afraid of us. >> because he's clean. the place look like he's being fed. they're taking care of him. >> that's a signal there. he's wearing nice clothes. he's being fed. he has a cup of tea there. this is ancient tribal code that predates islam. we will protect to the death a guest in our home. he is in someone's home right now. my belief is, my hope, of course, is and my cautious feeling is that he will be protected, he will not be harmed. >> because we all have that horrible image of daniel pearl being killed. that was al qaeda. the taliban and al qaeda are two different things. >> al qaeda killed daniel pearl. there have been eight kidn kidnappin kidnappings, some we know about, someb3uk secret, i have spept along the afghan border there, most of the hostages have been released. >> appreciate it. now over to you, julie.

this morning we are remembering legendary cbs news anchor walter cronkite. he passed #óu(v on friday at th age of 92. cbs news correspondent randall pinkston is on manhattan's east side with the latest on his funeral arrangements. we are outside st. barth ol mu's church where funeral services will be held on thursdayvan>h#o walter cronkite. they'll be private for his family and invited guests. walter cronkite's deaths occurring on the 40th anniversary of one of the most favorite stories of his career. it was 40 years ago today that walter cronkite reported on one of man's greatest journeys. >> oh, boy. boy. >> reporter: space was cronki cronkite's passion. >> when that vehicle landed on the moon, i was speechless. i really couldn't say a thing. >> reporter: cronkite is remembered as a man who made a

difference. he interviewed a young president. >> mr. president, the only hot war we've got running at the moment is, of course, the one in vietnam. >> i don't think that, unless a greater effort is made by the government to win popular support, the war can be won out there. >> reporter: and told the nation it had lost its leader. >> president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. 2:00 eastern standard time, some 38 minutes ago. >> walter became not only everybody's anchorman, he was everybody's minister, priest, and rabbi. >> reporter: and on the rarejñ occasions when cronkite voiced an opinion like vietnam, the nation took notice. >> it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate. >> because in an era beforen5ef blogs and e-mail, cell phones and cable, he was the news. walter invited us to believehr? him, and he never let us down. >> and that's the way it is. >> and that's the way it is. >> and that's the way it is.

>> and that's the way it is. >> reporter: many wonderful memories of a legendary journalist. there are plans underf< úç way public good-bye forpxa cronkite. it will be held later this summer here in manhattan. harry? >> randall jfybñpinkston, thank. joining us now is the x anchor the "cbs evening news," katie couric. >> hi, harry. >> you had the opportunity to have dinner with walter. walter did, in fact, give his blessing to your broadcast. what was that like for you to then follow in his footsteps? >> well,uxf ñ obviously, it was extraordinarily daunting. just talking about walter cronkite and seeing hissed body of work these last few days makes it even more so1 f[ todayn it was three years ago when i took on this job. but he was very supportive.]3vxy of my becomingp>ptr the anchor e ô told me he had a lot of confidence in me, and we talked about a lot of things during

that dinner, about covering the nuremberg trials, what that was like for him. various assignments through the years. he started at united press, as did my father, so we had a lot of wire service stories we exchanged. we talked about "american idol," believe it or not, because it was sort of at its zenith then. and he also talked about being fair and impartialç&":q objective, and said that he got grief from both sides of the aisle, as have i, during the reer., it made me feel much better about some of the criticism you position. >> so much of what he taught us, though, was about going to the story, and it seems like you have takenxn that very seriousl. >> well, i think, like walter, i love reporting. so when a big event happens, i lovem,÷ to be on the scene. he set the standard in so many ways, ú9harry. i thought it was very moving when roger mudd said, when he extraordinary washington correspondents back in the day,

that he said walter cronkite made them all proud to be tv journalists because, at a time when tv was in its infancy, he really shaped the medium in a way that i think no one else could have. and i think we owe2y him a huge nz doing that for emphasizing things likeh&h@ accuracy, fairness, objectivityá to the story and making the news more important than the person delivering it. you know, a lot of things have changed, obviously, and the media landscape is much more there are a lot of other pressures that i think were not necessarily taenant to the news in that day although iqzf think there were some certainly. juy person first, i think. and an extraordinary journalist second.

>> you know, one of the first stories i did at cbs, i found myself -- it was the 50thu@tñ anniversary of a disaster in texas. as i'm going through the archives, i found the first story reports that had been filed by walter cronkite, and he was right so often about so many things. but he worked so hard at that. it wasn't frivolous. it wasn't,rjkñ oh, this is -- h life was dedicated to this. ñ committed to his craft, i think, every single day. and i think, again, it's very inspiring to read about that. and for the people who actually got to work with him directly, what a thrill and honor that must have been. but i think -- one thing that i think is wonderful about celebrating his mark is that a lot2 of young people who may hae heard the name walter cronkite but i think who didn't experience his work directly, far younger than we are.

so didn't see his coverage of the kennedy assassination or of watergate or vietnam, are learning about this man, many i believe probably for the first time, and the impact he had and the value he brought to television news. i think that's a wonderful thing for everybody. >> his legacy lives on in youred broadcasts every night. try. it's something to strive for. i think even striving for it is an important aspect of what we do every day. i know you care deeply too. >> noble call. katie, thanks for coming in this morning. >> good toci(s see you, harry. as we've been discussing this morning,an(ae another lege event walter cronkite covered july 20th, 1969. it had always been a dream, but in 1961 it became a mission. >> i believe that this nationpi

should commit itself to achieving the goal before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. >> eight years later. >> good morning. it's t minus one hour, 29 minutes, and 53 seconds and counting. >> three, two, one, zero. all engines running. liftoff. we have a liftoff. >> four days andqfu÷ 250,000 mi later. z standing by. over. >> the night of july 20th, 1969. >> the eagle has landed. >> leaving men and women across the country speechless. >> boy. >> we're going to be busy for a minute. $brñ p.m. eastern time. >> man on the moon, neil!,é;÷ armstrong, 38-year-old american standing on the surface of the moon. >> that's$á one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. >> there it is.

a u.s. flag on the surface of the moon. >> the astronauts returned to y8r'j and a nation was reminded that, in spite of great challenges, even the heavens were within reach. >> we now know that we're notu9 invincible and there are limits ining moment in 1969, anything seemed possible for america.:,,ñ >> i was just out of high school we'll talk more about that later. >> buzz aldrin is here as well and now they're going to pitch the president to go to mars. >> if you didn't watch that cronkite retrospective and not shed a tear on one or two occasions, simply looking backq at some of those great historic moments in our country's history and think that hopefully we have many more ahead. let's walk on over to the weather wall and let's see what's happening all across the country. come on over.

looks like we are going to see a return of humidity for the eastern seaboard rolling off the atlantic. boy, the southeast had an incredible weekend with below normal temperatures. that's all going to change. we'll see a return to showers developing. in the meantime, high heat over the plains. but good news, much of texas has been below 100 degrees. we'll keep in mind, though, today we could see strong storms rolling through. gorgeous day as we head to the+ west. very nice conditions with temperatures againq about 110 o more in areas of the southwest. nice weathere3ez plenty of sunshine in the northwest. showers for hawaii. nice weather in -- actually, showers in alaska.

julie, on "the saturday early show," i told the story about whenever i saw walter, he would always tease me about doing the morning news because he did the morning news. he would always say to me, you know, when i did the morning news, we had the highest ratings. >> that's good, harry. >> i would always say, was it you, walter, or was it the puppet? back then he did the show with a puppet named charlemagne. >> and he would say? >> oh, ho, you know how it was. >> i met him once covering the oscars. i had this gown on. and i said normally i do hard news. he said, no matter what you do, do it better than anybody else. he would know about that. >> he was one of a kind. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by lendingtree.com. control your financial destiny. get started at the all new lendingtree.com.

president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. our cbs television control point this time of the democratic. >> if it mattered, walter cronkite reported it, always accurately, always captivatingly. and the best part, i think, harry, about him, without an ounce of pretension. >> zero. >> zero. what you see is what you get. >> that's what he said. good morning, julie. >> good morning, guys. you know, when walter cronkite left the cbs anchor desk in

1981, he said, "old anchormen don't fade away, they just keep coming back for more." and you know what, he did. in recent years appearing in documentaries on the discovery channel and providing weekly commentaries for retirement living tv. so with that, we look back at his final broadcasts. >> this is the cbs evening news with katie couric. >> when katie couric took over as anchor of the "cbs evening news" nearly three years ago, walter cronkite recorded the introduction to her at the top of the broadcast. couric returned the favor when cronkite, at the age of 91, came out of retirement and signed on to give weekly commentaries on retirement living tv. >> if i could tell you one thing about retirement, of course, one thing would be don't. >> the cronkite commentaries gave the veteran newsman a platform to offer his take on a host of issues. from climate change --

>> if ever there was a problem that the world had reason to discuss, it would be the matter of global warming and water. >> to illegal immigration. >> to brag about being a nation of immigrants, yet time after time new comers to our shores have met prejudice and sometimes violent opposition from those already here. >> cronkite's time at cbs news was dominated by the cold war. here he comments on u.s.-china relations today. >> maybe these two giants could learn to cooperate for their own sakes and the good of the world. it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy and did the best they could. >> just like he stated his opinion about the vietnam war,

cronkite shared his perspective on the war in iraq. >> i guess the ultimate lesson is that being a democracy, we, the people, are responsible for the actions of our leaders. >> that was cronkite's last commentary that he taped for retirement living tv. >> life has been very good to me, and i intend to be good to it right on down through to the end, whenever that may be. >> cbs news chief washington correspondent and host of "face the nation," bob schieffer, joins us now with memories of his longtime boss walter cronkite. good morning, bob. >> good morning, julie. >> what was he like as a boss? what was he like to work for? >> he was great. he was a very good editor. walter could always think of the question to ask you that you had had forgotten to ask. on those rare occasions when you had the answer to that question, you just felt so good about it.

i was just in awe of walter. he was what i wanted to be when i was a little boy growing up to be a reporter, and then when i went to work for him, it was a great honor to be a hart of his team. i go back and look at the tapes of myself in those early days, and it was clear i was trying to sound like walter cronkite. i finally got over that, of course. it was -- it's indescribable how it was to walk into this newsroom at cbs and discover you were on the team that had this great leader, which is something i'd wanted to do it all my life. when i got here, it just doesn't get any better than that. >> cronkite has had so many memorable moments on television for us as viewers, but what was your fondest memory of walter cronkite? something from behind the scenes perhaps. >> oh, you know, the things i remember are what we all remember because walter reflected the mood and the

feelings of the nation. the kennedy assassination, that memorable broadcast when our hearts were broken by what had just happened, and we all knew that walter cronkite felt exactly the same way as we did. and then, of course, that moment 40 years ago today when man first set foot on the moon, which was the great time for all of us.÷;3 that too was one of the things that i will always remember. going back to the assassination, julie, up until that weekend when president kennedy was shot, most americans got their news from print, from newspapers. but from that weekend on, surveys would show that people would come to depend on television for their news. the majority of americans. and walter cronkite and the way he handled that awful story that weekend, it changed our habits of how we got news. >> what do you think it was about him that made him so

trusted by everyone? he didn't -- you know, he never wanted to show his opinion on everything, and he gave it to us straight. but we all felt like we really knew him. >> it was his authenticity. that's what really came through to people. people understood that walter cronkite was a real reporter. he wasn't somebody who played one on television. he'd been out there. when he took those positions, those rare times when he took a position on things like vietnam, he didn't do it until after he had had gone to vietnam and seen what was happening there. you understood that walter had thought long and hard about this before he decided to give his opinion, and that's what made it so valuable and why people took it to heart. >> bob, can you just briefly tell me the story behind -- i'm told there was one time you and walter cronkite outsmarted barbara walters for an exclusive interview with then president

gerald ford. what happened? >> i'll tell you what happened. barbara walters had recorded an interview with gerald ford, then president ford, that was to bed broadcast the next day on the "today" show. and we set about, after we found out about it, trying to figure out some way to bust barbara's scoop. gerald ford was appearing at a rally in yonkers, new york, and i went to the then white house chief of staff, who by the way was 31-year-old dick cheney, and convinced him to let walter come backstage just to say hello and greet the president. so he did. we did it with a television crew. walter walked if, microphone in one hand, shook hands with the president, and said hello, mr. president. are you going to take your flu shot? because that was the big question going around. we had just started flu shots in this country, and people wondered if the president would. gerald ford just broke into this loud laugh and said, well, yes, walter, i am. he said, i think i need to set an example for the nation.

that night on the "cbs evening news," we started out with walter cronkite saying, good evening. president ford told me in an exclusive interview that he will take his flu shot, and we ran all nine seconds of that interview. i'll tell you, that was my proudest moment. from that moment on, walter looked out for me and took care of old bob. i always look on it as the best scoop i ever got, and it didn't have my fingerprints on it at all. but walter knew how it had come about. he loved it. nobody loved a scoop more than walter cronkite. >> thanks, bob. thanks for sharing the walter cronkite stories with us. >> you bet. >> let's head back to new york and dave for another check of the weather. good morning again, dave. >> good morning. barbara walters on line one for bob schieffer, by the way. let's take a check of the weather and see what's happening all the across the country. we're going to begin in the plains from fargo to omaha to wichita. rough weather today. couple inches of rain possible. gusty winds, possible hail storms not out of the question or out of the ordinary for this

>> they do that too. >> thanks, dave. up next, only 12 men have walked on the moon. we're going to talk to three of ncem ing,dilu apollo 11's buzz aldrin, when we come back. every day about 30 women in the u.s. learn that they have cervical cancer. that's why i chose to get my daughter vaccinated. i chose to get my daughter vaccinated when her doctor and i agreed that the right time to protect her is now. because it's about prevention. (nice) gardasil is the only cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against four types of hpv. two types that cause seventy percent of cervical cancer and two more types that cause other hpv diseases. i chose to get my daughter vaccinated because the cdc recommends that girls her age get vaccinated. gardasil does not treat cervical cancer or other hpv diseases. side effects include: pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. gardasil is not for women who are pregnant. gardasil may not fully protect everyone and does not prevent all kinds of cervical cancer, so it's important to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. i chose to get my

daughter vaccinated because i want her to be one less woman affected by cervical cancer. one less. gardasil. ask your daughter's doctor about gardasil. dinner with the girls tonight. mmm... mexican, or italian? i really want dessert tonight. i better skip breakfast. yep, this is all i need. ( stomach growls ) skipping breakfast to get ahead? research shows that women that eat breakfast, like the special k® breakfast, actually weigh less. the special k® breakfast, now in blueberry.

so why skip? when you can eat all this... and still weigh less. victory is... sweet. when morning comes in the middle of the night, [ rooster crow ] it affects your entire day. to get a good night's sleep, try 2-layer ambien cr. the first layer dissolves quickly... to help you fall asleep. and unlike other sleep aids, a second dissolves slowly to help you stay asleep. when taking ambien cr, don't drive or operate machinery. sleepwalking, and eating or driving... while not fully awake with memory loss for the event... as well as abnormal behaviors... such as being more outgoing or aggressive than normal, confusion, agitation and hallucinations may occur. don't take it with alcohol... as it may increase these behaviors. allergic reactions such as shortness of breath, swelling of your tongue or throat may occur... and in rare cases may be fatal. side effects may include next-day drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. in patients with depression, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide may occur. if you experience any of these behaviors or reactions...

contact your doctor immediately. wake up ready for your day-- ask your healthcare provider for 2-layer ambien cr. i believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. >> july 20th, 1969, 40 years ago today, that was the day apollo 11 landed on the moon, and walter cronkite was at the anchor desk. >> the date's now indellible. what a moment. man on the way to the moon. it's going to be remembered as long as man survives, july 20th, 1969, the day man reached. >> the eagle has landed. >> and walked on the moon. >> you've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. we're breathing again. thanks a lot.

>> boy. >> we're going to be busy for a minute. >> there he is. there's the foot coming down the steps. >> the least of us is improved by the things done by the best t us because, ife ear ne able oland, at least we are able to follow. armstrong, aldrin, and collins are the best of us, and they've led us further and higher than we ever imagined we were likely to go.éab >> we have three of the best of us joining us from nasa headquarters in washington. buzz aldrin, along with alan bean and charlie duke. they are respectively the second, fourth, and tenth men to walk on the moon. that must feel pretty cool. gentlemen, good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> colonel aldrin, let me begin with you. we can't remember your amazing accomplishment 40 years ago today without also mentioning walter cronkite. what do you think was his

contribution to the space program? >> walter was a very supportive person of the space program, and he has continued -- after the missions to the moon, he's continued to support the astronaut scholarship foundation and all the early people. he's been on a lot of boards. he's been always a very firm supporter of the space program. he obviously wanted to fly in the shuttle as a journalist in space. unfortunately, he didn't get that opportunity. i'm sure he wanted to be here with us today on the 40th anniversary. he didn't get that opportunity either. it's a sad day, but it's a great day for us, as we look at 40 years ago and chart a course for 40 years in the future. >> we remember walter cronkite was giddy when the eagle landed, and so was america. and the consensus now from space enthusiasts is that that

excitement isn't there anymore. let me turn to you, captain bean, the fourth man to walk on the moon on apollo 12. how do we get that excitement back? >> i think it's mostly up to the media. it's my observation that what the media talks about and says is exciting is what the public thinks is exciting. so we hope that you feel, the media feels that going to mars is the next big challenge and that we will actually benefit from it. we think so. we think it's a great idea and it will help america be better next year than last year, and ten years from now than now. it's up to you. you're the ones that sort of control the excitement level of the whole world really. >> well, we will do our best because this is certainly an exciting anniversary. let me bring in general duke. can you just tell us what it was like to walk on the moon.

>> it was, of course, the most exciting flight i'd ever had, one of the most exciting adventures in my life. we were six hours late landing, and so when we actually landed and looked out across, to me, an incredibly beautiful lunar landscape that was unlike anything i'd seen before. we landed in the mountains of the moon, and it was very, very rough. rolling hills, craters, rocks everywhere. and as i stepped onto the moon, i was almost overwhelmed with the excitement of it all. that continued for 71 hours for john and me. we were just like two little kids at christmas. it was so exciting to -- you know, every time you went over a little ridge, you were wondering what you're going to see next. and so it was that kind of adventure for us for 71 hours. >> 71 hours, which is a record, by the way. colonel aldrin, i know that you're meeting with the president later today along with the other two apollo 11

astronauts, and you are going to pitch mars as the next mission. why mars? >> well, we're certainly not ignoring the moon. we have a space station. we need to keep it going. we need to invite more nations, space-faring nations, on board the space station. we need to build an international partnership so that international partnership can be transferred to lunar activities with an international lunar economic development corporation authority. we've done those sort of things before. and then what we can do is take our experience of having been on the moon 40 years ago and the last four years of planning to go back there and share that with the internationals so they can expend their resources on their rockets going to the moon. we expended our resources on the international space station. now i think it's time for us to

chart a pathway, a gradual pathw pathway, a little more than two decades, instead of the one decade to get to the moon. we have much to do and many ways to accomplish those step by step. and they're very exciting things. not as exciting, maggie, as going back to the moon again. >> i feel your enthusiasm and your(q!÷ excitement still 40 ye later. please, colonel aldrin, the last word on your anniversary. what is the most memorable moment of that day 40 years ago? >> absolute ly it was the gatewy to further exploration. it was the few seconds that we had touching down, shutting the engine off, and looking out. we both looked at each other, and i patted him on the shoulder. that's how i recall it. he recalls shaking hands. but whatever it was, it was that opening up of the threshold of exploration. we developed places we've explored. we explore places we haven't

been to. mars, we have not been to yet. >> buzz aldrin, alan bean, charles duke, gentlemen, thank you so much for your contribution and for your time this morning. we'll be right back. >> thank you. ⌟

40 years ago today, neil armstrong became the first man ever to walk on the moon, and as a result, became an instant american hero. since that time, the 78-year-old has remained a very reluctant hero. commander neil armstrong's words defined a moment in our history. >> it's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

>> armstrong had the right stuff. he earned his wings before he had a driver's license. he test piloted 4,000 mile an hour rocket planes. and yet the man who realized one of our greatest dreams has remained largely an enigma. >> of all the astronauts, neil really is on the far end of the systematic thinking, engineering type. >> uncomfortable in the spotlight, it took armstrong over 30 years to grant his first television interview with our own ed bradley. >> i guess we all like to be recognized, not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work. >> a professor at the university of cincinnati in the 1970s and a board member of various corporations, armstrong's most public role was on the commission investigating the "challenger" disaster. >> i admire the character and

integrity that he has lived his life with. that is a legacy for the first man on the moon that i think we can all be very proud of. >> armstrong flies a glider now, still at home with his feet off the ground. and joining us now from washington are janet armstrong, neil's ex-wife, and their sons, rick and mark. good morning to you all. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> janet, take me back to that time when that rocket is about to take off. these men, your husband and his friends, are to go on an adventure unlike any other. did you watch tv that day? >> no. we watched it live. we were on a boat on the banana river during launch. we watched it live. it was spectacular. >> people don't remember just

the size of that rocket that took all that equipment up there, this giant rocket that took off. did you have misgivings? did you have fears? what were your concerns? >> sure, i had fears. i had no misgivings. this is what neil wanted to do, and i knew that when i married him. the rocket was beautiful. just the sound, it just got right to your heart. it went right through your body. it was fabulous. and it was not the first time i had watched a launch, but this one was on a special mission, and at the time, we didn't know whether it was going to be successful or not. but it was. >> i think that's one of the things that is lost maybe in all of these years is there's never, ever any certainty when man

ventures into space, and this notion of landing on the moon, of walking on the moon, that night, as you watched then on television, bring me back to that night and what you remember. >> well, that night that they were due to land on the moon, we were gathered in our living room at home in texas. we had friends and family with us. we all sat there. we watched as they had their separation and as they flew down towards the moon. we were sitting in the living room waiting for them to land. it was -- gosh, it was a wonderful experience. it was tense, yes. tense. >> all right. let me -- i want to talk to these boys, rick and mark. how old were you respectively

when your father walked on the moon? >> i was 12. >> and i was 6. >> all right. as a 12-year-old, you're old enough to have some understanding of what was happening. what do you remember from that night? >> you know, i remember it just -- i knew it was going to work. i mean, i just didn't have any doubt that everything was going to go well. i think maybe that's naivete of a 12-year-old, but i just fully expected everything to go on just as it turned out to do. >> and as a 6-year-old, do you remember? or that was dad was at work that night? >> i do remember. you know, as a 6-year-old, i was blissfully unaware of the dangers involved, but, you know, but excited nonetheless, like the rest of america. and hopeful. >> and hopeful.

i cannot thank you all enough for taking the time to share your memories of that historic journey and that amazing night. those of wow, is this... fiber one honey clusters? yes.

it's delicious. delicious. i know. but it can't have... can't have about half a day's worth of fiber? i assure you it does. i was expecting... expecting sawdust and cardboard? i know. i can only taste... only taste the crunchy clusters, honey, and brown sugar. no madam, i don't have esp. ok. i'll take a box, but you probably already knew that. (announcer) fiber one. cardboard no. delicious yes.

>> i've been delighted that i've been able to be a journalist all i've been delighted that all i've been able to be a journalist all my life, from the time i was a boy in high school until today. i think it all worked out pretty well. >> we should agree that it certainly did. we continue remembering the always affable, always accurate, always entertaining walter cronkite. welcome back to "the early show." i'm maggie rodriguez with harry smith. julie is in l.a. today. hi, jules. >> good morning again, you guys. >> i love that story he tells, if i'd only had elocution

lessons or learned how to perform in front of the camera, i might have made something of myself. we'll remember walter cronkite with some great stories in just a couple of seconds. first, we want to go to russ at the news desk. in milwaukee, a boy is fighting for his life this morning after being rescued from a burning suv. >> get him. >> the frantic rescue yesterday, as you can see, was caught on tape. the 4-year-old boy was trapped inside the vehicle after it rolled over and burst into flames. his mother and sister had already gotten out. bystanders smashed the windshield and fought the flames to pull the boy out. this off-duty policeman grabbed a fire extinguisher. >> we tried our hardest to get the kids out. i'm still shaken up. it will probably haunt me for a long time. thank god we were there and the off-duty firefighters were there. >> the boy suffered severe burns but it expected to survive. >> the u.s. and india are expected to sign two important treaties today. secretary of state hillary clinton is in india to broker the deals. one treaty is an arms deal.

the other gives american companies the right to sell india nuclear power plants. the terrorist bombing attack in jakarta, indonesia, on friday may be the work on the same group behind the bali bombing back in 2002. this morning they buried the first of the seven people killed in the jakarta terror attacks. eight americans were injured. investigators say an unexploded bomb left behind resembled the devices used in bali. acclaimed author frank mccourt died yesterday. he won the pulitzer prize for "ange "angela's ashes." he wrote it after 30 years as a high school teacher in new york city. he died at the ange of 78. after more than 50 years on the throne, there's something new this morning for britain's queen elizabeth. for the first time, she's participating in the ancient ritual of counting young swans, known as swan upping. it began in the 12th century and takes about a week. it is now 8:32. time to go outside to dave price

for our final check of the weather. good morning, david. >> good morning, russ. kim, if you're watching, and jim if you're watching, your wife sent some messages. first of all, don't forget to feed the dog. second of all, don't forget to make your coffee. and jim, apparently, you're the perfect husband. ane4xa1 from birmingham, alabama, and lincoln, nebraska, and good friends from australia. and friends from all over the country in the southeast as well. let's take a check of the weather and see what's happening all across the usa, everybody. looks like we'll see more atlantic moisture begin to roll on in, unstable air. showers affecting the southeast, florida, georgia, into the carolinas, and then eventually the eastern seaboard and northeastern seaboard as well. in the meantime, as you head to the plains, watch it. could see strong storms roll through today. cold front is beginning to slip on through from the north and the west. southwest still sizzling tomorrow. another great day in the pacific northwest. hit and miss thunderstorms,

again, that moisture and sticky humidity rolls on into the northeast, but pleasantly, really beautiful as you head to the >> that's a quick look at your weather, people. very popular. they have friends all over the country. you must be really nice. hello to arkansas, hawaii. that's a quick look at your weather picture. maggie, inside to you. >> dave, thank you. walter cronkite earned the title the most trusted man in america in large part because of

the way he brought us two of the biggest stories of the 20th century. in september, 1963 as fighting swelled in vietnam, cbs' top news manual ter cronkite sat down with president john kennedy to discuss the conflict. >> mr. president, the only hot war we've got running at the moment is, of course, the one we've got going in vietnam. >> i don't think, unless a greater effort is made by the government to win popular support, the war can be won out there. in the final analysis, it's their war. >> just two months later, the most trusted man in america broke the news that sent a country into mourning. >> from dallas, texas, the flash apparently official. president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time, 2:00 eastern standard time, some 38 minutes ago. >> and i remember thinking, isn't that ironic? just a couple of months ago he was interviewing the president, and now he's reporting on his death. >> mrs. kennedy holding back her

tears. >> he was america's anchor through some of the nation's darkest days, and when the story was most confusing, his approach was to take you there himself. his straightforward reporting brought the front lines of the vietnam war into our living rooms. >> if the communist intention was to take and seize the cities, they came closer here than anywhere else. >> unafraid to share what he saw with the rest of the nation. >> it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy and did the best they could. >> i think it pained him to have to say what he thought about vietnam, but he thought he knew what the truth was, and he thought he had an obligation to tell it. >> and joining us now are sean mcmanus, president of cbs news and sports, susan zirinsky,

executive producer of "48 hours." and in washington, bill plante, senior white house correspondent. good morning to you all. >> harry, good morning. >> i'm trying to think, between susan and bill, who was around walter first? susan, how old were you when you went to work for walter cronkite? >> when i was in the washington bureau, i was 19 years old. >> bill, how old were you when you went to work for walter? >> about 26 or 27. >> we won't ask you how many years ago that was. bill, let me ask you first how important it was for you to go to work for cbs and what it meant to you to work for cbs and walter cronkite. >> cbs news was, as we used to say, the tiffany network. it was the tradition of edward r. murrow, and cronkite carried on that addition. we knew he had been passionate about the facts. he didn't take the managing editor title lightly.

>> and when you turn to the script as a correspondent, bill, for walter cronkite, i can't even imagine the pressure of getting it right. >> you got that right. we were always braced for a question from walter because he would review the scripts. he also had a lighter side. example. we would come in from the nixon campaign or the carter campaign. he'd want to know what was going on. i once asked him about the charges by both democrats and republicans that he expressed his editorial opinion by lifting his eyebrow, and he said to me, oh, hell no. it's just a twitch. >> sean, your father's path and walter's path crossed in such interesting ways. jimmy kay was your dad. was not jim supposed to host the olympics on cbs? >> he was. in 1960 at the squaw valley winter olympics, my dad was scheduled to anchor the olympic games, his first time ever to do

that. and he had what he later admit was a nervous breakdown about a month and a half before the opening ceremonies. they put walter cronkite in my dad's place in 1960 to anchor the olympic games. by the time rome came around that summer, mied dad was ready to do the summer olympics. i had lunch with walter about a month before i got my job, and we talked about that and how much my dad wanted to be a newsman when he was growing up. and walter said, if it weren't for squaw valley, maybe your dad would have been the anchor, and i would have been the sports anchor. they had a great admiration. >> the one story i want to share is when your father was at the munich olympics in 1972 and did such a remarkable job of telling everyone in america what had transpired. horrible, horrible attack on the israeli athletes. tell about walter sending a note to your dad. >> well, i was with my dad all day, and he was in the studio for 18 hours straight.

we got back to the hotel in the early morning hours. my dad went to the front desk to get his key, and the concierge said, mr. mckay, there's a telegram for you there. my dad opened it up and read it to me. it said, jim, you were superb yesterday. the profession and the industry has reason to be proud of you. congratulations, walter cronkite. >> listen to this piece. >> the greatest compliment of my career. jim, you were superb yesterday. the profession and the industry have reason to be proud of you. congratulations. he did such an excellent job. i thought he ought to know we were appreciative on this side of the ocean and particularly in the news rooms at rival networks. >> did we ever. >> what did that mean to your dad? >> well, we stood there and looked at each other. it's one of those moments that you never forget your entire life. mied dad looked at me and said, you know something, it's never going to get better than this

ever. he had such great admiration. and walter had his seminal moment during the kennedy assassination during the space program, and mied y eiey eied d moment was the munich tragedy. to read walter's telegram after he got off the air was something he never forgot. he carried that telegram in his briefcase until he passed add way. >> we have a script that susan saved all these years. tell us about this. >> as a young production secretary and kind of researcher called into battle during watergate, walter was coming down back and forth and back and forth, and obviously the culmination of everything was the night that nixon resigned. and cbs did a special. i had been busy ripping scripts for him in those days. you have to type the scripts on a typewriter. at the end of the night, everybody was kind of wasted. it was just a seminal moment for everybody. and walter had dumped the script into the trash can. i picked it up and said, walter,

don't you think you want to save this script for historic value. he goes, no, no, no, they transcribe everything in new york. i thought, i'm with walter cronkite on an amazing night in history. ip keeping this document. i kept it all these years. the writer was charlie west. you can see walter's correction ins there. this was really what walter was about. the country traveled with walter through tragedies, through moments like the man on the moon, and if i could just read like the last section. it's pretty extraordinary. "and so virtually on the eve of our bicentennial, the united states has passed through a day of historic drama, a day many of her citizens had been awaiting with dread, a day some feared would shred the fabric of her society. but the feared has not come to pass. as president ford said in his acceptance speech, our long national nightmare is over. our constitution works. ourcçvvñ great republic is a

government of laws and not of men. here the people rule." this is walter cronkite, cbs news, washington. good night. i get a chill. >> me too. >> and even the copy, you know, it was an orderly succession. you know, there was just amazing lines in this. i think as a 19-year-old going through what the country was going through but also with cronkite, there was a mission. there was nobody that didn't understand that cronkite was about one thing, not about himself as the story, it was about seeking truth. having that single voice to march under was really extraordinary. it was just the greatest seduction for me of all time as a 19-year-old. >> will there ever be another cronkite, sean? >> no, i don't think so. if there is, i'd like to hire him. i don't think he's out there. i tried to explain to my kids when i got the news of walter's death, that the way it is right now, they couldn't understand

it. there was a time, if you wanted to get your national news on television, there was one place to get it, and that was on network television, either abc, cbs, or nbc. people chose walter. if you wanted to get your news, it was from walter cronkite. i don't think anybody with all the cable outlets and the internet, i don't think anybody will have the kind of impact or the influence that walter had. how lucky are we the one man who had that position turned out to be walter cronkite. >> with our network. >> he was all about the journalism, all about the writing, and all about telling the story correctly. >> i want to share a quick story. during the 50th anniversary of d-day, we broadcast from normandy. i was fortunate enough to have as my anchor buddy walter cronkite, who had distinguished himself as a wire service reporter in the invasion of north africa. he flew in b-17s over the european theater. he was at the battle of the bulge. and to be able to sit there with

him at that phenomenal american cemetery there, i have chills just now thinking about it. he was so generous. he was absolutely, unfailingly generous with his thoughts and his expertise and his goodness. >> he wanted everyone to be as good as he was. >> and for all of his talents, the thing that stands out for me the most is that he was the ultimate gentleman. and as he said, it wasn't about himself, it was about the story. if you were with him one on one and the warmth that just exuded from this man's character was just extraordinary. absolutely extraordinary. >> and, you know, he was very much the same on camera as off camera. there was no persona. there was no change of voice. you know, the avuncular walter was the reality of who he was. he was magic. >> everyone called him walter, from the interns to the producers. >> absolutely. >> to the president of the division. >> let me thank bill plante.

thanks for coming in this morning, bill. appreciate it very, very much. >> harry, i have to tell you, it was walter's presence, his reassurance that helped people make sense of those troubled times in the '60s and '70s. >> no question. sean, susan, thank you both very much. as we head to break, we bring you some words from cbs president and ceo leslie moonves. >> walter and i shared a floor. a couple of times a month he would walk down to my office or i would walk down to his, and we'd talk about the network news, the network, life in general. what a great guy. there's a reason walter cronkite was the most trusted man in america. he had honor. he had integrity. when he spoke, people believed him and they listened to him. i am so proud that walter cronkite represented the cbs family. he was the best america had to offer, and i'm so proud to have known him.

my friend george clooney and i have been e-mailing the last couple days. george and his father nick were very close to walter. george's last e-mail was "i don't want to live in a world without walter cronkite." amen.
