most of all, we welcome dick etchberger's friends and family, especially his brother robert and dick'sichard, and cory. for the etchberger family, this is a day more than 40 years in the making. corey was just 9 years old, but he can still remember that winter in 1968 when he, his brothers and his mom were escorted to the pentagon. the war in vietnam was still raging. dick etchberger had given his life earlier that year. now his family was being welcome by the air force chief of staff in a small, private ceremony, dick was recognized with the highest honor that the air force can give, the air force cross. these three sons were told that their dad was a hero, that he had died while saving his fellow airmen, but they weren't told much else. their father's work was classified, and for years that's all they really knew. then, nearly two decades later, the phone rang. it was the air force, and their father's mission was finally being declassified. that's when they learned the truth, that their father had given his life not in vietnam but in neighboring laes. dick etchberger was a radar tech

executive director dick-endrizzi: ok. so just to maybe go through some of the comments that the commission has made and also some of the small businesses, that the intent of the ordinance and -- is that the original intent of the ordinance had been stated, was that it was to go -- that they're targeting the wholesalers as the means to go after big alcohol to, to quote their termination -- alcohol, to quote their terminology. but i think in terms of this ordinance, what we really understand is that this actually is having the impact is on small business, because small business is going to have to -- is the one that's fronting the cash to pay for this. proposed fee. and that as we often -- the commission often sees, is that when we divide legislation that is specifically targeted toward small business, when small business is not a stakeholder in developing the legislation there tends to be a disproportion impact on small businesses. the concerns over the timetable , i think what i've heard from the commissioners is that the

eventually dick was the only man standing.s a technician he had no formal combat training, in fact he had only recently been issued a rifle. but dick etchberger was the very definition of an nco, a leader determined to take care of his men. when the enemy started moving down the rocks dick fought them off. when it looked like the ledge would be overrun he called for air strikes within yards of his own position, shaking the mountain and clearing the way for a rescue. and in the morning light an american helicopter came into view. richard etchberger lived the airman's creed to never leave an airman behind, to never fault tere, to never fail. so as the helicopter hovered above and lowered its sling dick lowered his wounded men one by one each time exposing himself to enemy fire. when another airman rushed forward after alluding the enemy all night dick loaded him too, and finally himself. they had made it off the mountain. that's when it happened. the helicopter began to peel away, a burst of gunfire erupted below, and dick was w

tea party leader dick armey refused to endorse the idea after possible government shutdown. it's not clear whether or not he means it. why do we say that? huffington post reports four years ago armey said the reason the republicans got blamed for the shutdowns of the '90s is they were honest beforehand and revealed they would do it. you've set the stage for the press to report that the republicans are now doing in october what they said they'd do in june even if, in fact, they thought it was the right strategy to shut down the government, they should have kept their mouths shut about it. let's bring in a government shutdown veteran. former author of "aftershock." good evening, sir. >> hi, keith. >> two real world implications here, one for government employees and the other for taxpayers, starting with the taxpayers, what happens to the services they rely on and pay for? >> well, i was there november 14th, 1995, a day that shall live in if not infamy at least stupidity. republicans suffered by closing government because, look, not only social security checks were jeopardized

let me ask you this dick.hey did a poll on the healthcare law as we've been doing all along for the past six months and take a look at the latest numbers. the latest numbers show that there is a 54% unfavorable view of the healthcare law. only 18% view it very favorably, you can see the numbers together. according to politico more than half of independents also view it very unfavorably or unfavorably. that is the key group not just for the midterm elections but for the presidential election in particular, those independents have got to go democrat if president obama wants to win a second term. right now they are saying not only do they hate the healthcare law but they tie that very much to the candidate they are going to support in the upcoming elections, dick. >> well, i think it's very simple. the healthcare law and everyone is hating it based on the spin given by the republican party about death panels. >> it's nonsense, dick, you know that they hate it because they know now after the bill has been passed j
