samoan soldiers who are part of the battalion have fought and served bravely in conflicts from desert storm to afghanistan and iraq and others since the companies were relocated to american samoa in 1980. madam speaker, american samoa takes particular pride that vice president pence was able to celebrate with us the 109th anniversary of the establishment of the united states army reserves which just happened to line up perfectly with his visit. while the vice president's journey was well covered by international and domestic media, most outlets outside of the pacific failed to report a significant statement he made, which i have called the pago pago declaration. this important statement made on our soil was well noted and well received in the pacific islands. specifically the vice president spoke of the challenges the u.s. faces in asia anti-pacific and confirmed to the audience assembled that as quoted by radio new zealand international and broadcast region wide, we're here to stay. we're here for peace. we're here for the prosperity of all our people. and we're proud the american fl

that is what the battalion into the regimen look like. so it's interesting that notionally speaking they can move around the supply company and the first battalion so it's kind of interesting people often ask why there is no j. company and that's because it would be confusing. square division, the regiments in the two brigades. take a look at the triangular division. more artillery available in world war ii. so, what the army came out of this understanding is we need even more artillery for the folks that are fighting. here is another little fun fact. when we shipped over there wasn't one single american-made machine gun at hands of the american expeditionary forces, not one single one. and in fact, artillery wise, the only american manufacturing artillery used in world war i are enabled on. used by the heavy artillery. we used all french artillery. we used british and french machine guns, these are british made. they are actually pretty good. so, they will fly through that battle because i want to leave time for questions. the first infa

the folks who roll home about their experiences from the labor battalion and from combat units talk about two things. the talk about the difficulty of fighting for democracy in a jim crow army. and they talk about the investments of many of their fellow white soldiers and making sure that they do not have for theirectations own citizenship rights after world war i. they also talk a lot about how france has opened up the world for them in a variety of different ways. their experience with french people fighting alongside the , for al troops of color segment that was given over to the french army for this duration of the war, fighting under commanders who do not have the same kind of investment in american white supremacy, it often made them realize that the and in somebe, places was very different from the racial system and orders of power that they had to experience for most of their lives. term jim crow army. can you explain what you mean by that? was, at this point, as it would be up until nearly in many 1940's and instances, after segregation. which is to say african-american troops we

the great hero of the lost battalion holds out with the battalion, not lost but he holdout with the lost battalion many days with severe casualties, being shelled by his own artillery on and off. he is our model citizen soldier. he really is. an attorney before the war, a reluctant officer but does his duty. all he wants to do is get back to his life. shortly after the war, with roughly is another guy who questions whether he did the same thing, should he have surrendered in a pocket, what did he have done? should he have asked the germans for aid for his wounded. he tries to go back to his normal life, shortly after the war he is coming back from cuba. not on holiday, business holiday if you will and sit down to dinner. fancy for dinner. and he bids his colleagues at the dinner table a good night and he gets up and walks off. the fantail of the ship. it is never seen again. i think this want and desire by world war i generation to return to normalcy is best expressed in the presidential campaign. something that is pervasive in that generation. it was a generation of people who wanted to

> reporter: well, the good news is, all of this, if there's any good news, that the oakland fire battalion chief says injuries are minor. talking about minor cuts and bruises according to him, this after the 13 construction workers fell from an upper floor that they were working on as they were pouring concrete. they were pouring concrete from the building you're likely looking at video of from sky7 right now when somehow the flooring underneath them gave way. we're told that nobody underneath them was significantly hurt, but they did fall. my colleague who arrived here on scene first when all of this got going shortly after 9:30 this morning has been talking to some of the construction workers that are out here, and just showed me some video they shared with him that shows them dangling from some railing they were working on. sort of hanging there. you can see some of the workers below them, some that have that concrete that was being poured up to their knees, but, again, ones that fell had minor injuries according to the battalion chief. injuries, cuts, bruises, 13 men, uncertain at this

in june, general westmoreland sends to president johnson what is known as the 44 battalion request. west moore larnd says i have been sent out here with the mission to defend south vietnam. with the current trend in north vietnamese increases and south vietnamese losses they are going to take over within a few months. then, if you want me to actually move the communist back, i am going to need more forces in phase two. which i will then use on an offensive campaign. by the way, to deal with this north vietnamese escalation, johnson starts bombing. starts bombing the north and the ho chi minh trail. and the rationale produced by mcnam marra is pressure on hanoi to give up. we are going to be so tough that we are going to convince the communist that they can never win in the long run. so we get into '66 and where are we? well we have bombing going on. we have 173,000 american troops going in the country. johnson has something like 200,000 american troops committed to land warfare in vietnam and a bombing campaign going. and at this point, an anti war movement is being formed. this poi
