received his medal of honor in world war ii because of his actions at normandy -- the invasion of normandythe beaches. and, actually, when they found they had landed at the wrong spot, he said it didn't matter -- "we'll start the war from here." his father didn't receive his medal of honor until many years after theodore roosevelt jr. had gotten his. theodore roosevelt was given the medal of honor posthumously for leading the charge up san juan hill during the spanish american war.

he was forced to serve in the eastern italian in normandy -- eastern battalion in normandy. with the landing of american paratroopers on the peninsula, he was captured then, finally, by americans and taken back to england where he was put in a prison camp and then at the united states. having been all around the world, he then settled in the united states when he was released at the end of the war and died in illinois in 1992. the point is not just that he emphasizes the global aspect of the war. it shows that most people had no control over their own fate. >> where did you find it? when did you decide to open your book with it. ? >> when i came across the accounts and tried to double check it, it grabbed my imagination because the special operations executive in italy -- he had always told the story of how a german soldier of an asian origin had been captured by the british. nobody could find out where he was from because they could not find what language he spoke. finally, there was an english priest who had been attached to one of the divisions, who had been a missionary

even if he survives this, think of normandy. there are more waves of opposition attacks and resources -- >> when i think of normandy, i think of you as a paratrooper in the night before. you can count on rush limbaugh to give the right wing view. today talking about bain, catch this clip of obama saying he boosted the private sector db here's rush maybe at his worst. let's listen. >> i think it can now be said without equivocation -- without equivocation, this man hates this country. he was indoctrinated as a child. his father was a communist. mother was a leftist. sent to prep, ivy league schools where his contempt for the country was reinforced. he moved to chicago. it was the home of the radical left movement. this is what we have. as a president, a radical who despises the country and the way it was founded and the way in which it became great. >> isn't it funny that our supreme court is dominated by republicans who went to ivy league schools. it isn't like they all came back indoctrinated. your thoughts on what this rush qu

he even took part in the allied invasion of normandy, a bloody battle that claimed thousands of lives. >> he, you know, left ireland to go fight in the war because he just got married. he wanted to make a difference. he still had to provide for his wife and seven children and grandchildren as he got older. just what you would want to be as a man, i suppose. >> patrick wants justice for his grandfather, but time is running out. philip is over 90 years old. he never shows off his medals for bravery. even today, nearly 70 years later, he is afraid of the irish authorities. philip deserted the irish army to fight for the british and was sent to prison when he returned. the trauma has remained with him. this was the first time his family has let anyone take his picture. strangers, and even more so, a video camera make him nervous. >> he is still nervous at this stage. this was an apology, maybe. and thank you for what he has gone through, the paranoia he has lived with, the suffering, whether someone will not for the door from the government, will he get punished again and again? just some

one is that i had the privilege of participating in the normandy 68th anniversary of the landings theree british events. i was soaked at each one. but this is also, mr mr. ambassador, navy weather, and to our canadian friends, on my visit to canada earlier this year, both our countries are celebrating the war of 1812 as great victories. so it is fitting that we're here together at friends. we declared american independence in 1776 in philadelphia. we won our independence in 1781 at yorktown, but we secured our independence in the war of 1812. mere in baltimore on the great lakes and new orleans and on the high seas. this war which lasted for not one year but until the peace treaty in 1815 began 200 years ago today as you have heard with this signing of the declaration of war by president madison. the lasting impact of that war is many ways greater than the actual war. you also heard many of the symbols and successes of america and he is he specially the united states navy were born in that conflict. war was declared 200 years ago today after years of injustices and injuries inflicted by

he had in mind normandy where his property had held property and been enennobled for certainly refor centuries. they were connected, he thought, they were not equal. but those connections at least existed. he was afraid that in a democratic society, in a society where all were considered equal, that those relationships would not appear, and that they would be replaced by individual and by the isolation of the individual and not having the connections, the social connections with others. democracy, he wrote, threatens to confine the citizens so wholly in the solitude of his own heart. but the america he observed avoided this danger, he came to believe, because of two important factors. the americans, he wrote, had combatted the individualism to which equality gives birth with freedom. and they have defeated it. he saw this as a very hopeful development. and you can read much of tocqueville as an instruction to his french relatives and contemporaries about how this system that they were very suspicious of in fact was working pretty well, and that the dangers they thought it contained h

but with the navy ship wrecks we worked on everything from the d-day ship wrecks off normandy beaches to a scuttled revolutionary war fleet up in the penobscot river in maine. we were involved in the commemoration of the war of 1812 and we proposed to relocate and excavate the ship wreck site because it was probably one of the best known and best preserved of the navy's war of 1812 vessels. >> so you dive in the water here yourself. what's it like diving in this water that looks pretty hard to see through? >> kind of like diving in pea soup. the visibility is not very good at all. the best we ever get to is a foot or two. it's hard -- it is hard to measure and read tapes and to work, since you almost have to work by braille, by feel or by touch, but you can get used to it. if you're an underwater archaeologist, you worked in black water, you do get used to, you know, maneuvering around when you have very limited visibility and also, you can determine what you're working on and what you're feeling by touch. so your other senses kind of improve with time when you have low visibility. ho

a viking pirate becomes duke rolo of normandy. he had been a pirate, he participated in the siege of paris, was exceptionally good at looting. they bought him off, they bribed him. they said, look, here's a lot of gold if you just stop looting i all the time. but there's a problem. when you do that, they say, okay, now i have the gold, i want more. and the deal that was finally offered was, look, why don't you just settle down and loot us all year round a little bit. [laughter] you'll get more. and it won't be as costly to us. and that is the establishment of the duke of normandy. very well-documented historical case of establishment of a particular predatory state. subsequent to that in 1066, the normans, the north men, conquer england and come over with their knights. william the bastard, as he was known, william the conqueror to his add vierers, is able to defeat the english army and establish their state in england. and a number of interest things come from this as well. the predatory state that focuses on extraction of revenu

i went all the way from casablanca and french morocco, sicily, and omaha beach, in normandy. that is how i got started. my life has been changed ever since. it was the best thing that ever happened to me, when she told me that, because i can still remember it, as clear as today, those tears in her eyes. they were coming straight from the heart. and so i lived my life. the baddest thing that happened to me in military service was my brother got killed on the d- day. i remember these soldiers all these years. i have been back several y times, and it is an honor to go back and to respect the lives of these people, who gave so much. i saw so many people killed on d-day. i talked to schools all the time. one little girl asked me, "how many people did you kill?" i said, "i was not trained to kill people. i was trained to kill the enemy, and they were trained to kill me. i was probably here today because i did what i had to do. i did learn a lot from my mother, and that set me straight and honest throughout military service." >> is it my turn? [applause] walter got me all chocked up

that is the establishment of the duchy of normandy. subsequent to that, in 1066, the normans and norseman conquered england and came over with their knives. william the conqueror is able to defeat the english armies and establish their stake in england. a number of interesting things come from this as well. a predatory state that focuses on extraction of revenue from the population, and also the english language as well. i am told by linguists that english has the largest natural vocabulary a language in the world. in terms of normal, natural vocabulary, english has the largest and a relatively simple grammar. you know how difficult it was to master english grammar. it was hard. what happens is that which is are merged into one. if you listen carefully to the english language, you can hear the violence at its origin. the normans move again to the big houses. the peasants are still speaking anglo-saxon. think about the english language with regard to food. if it is on your plate, it is french. the elegant, fancy people, the french word.

frame of reference in talking about wars, most americans, many americans, are not going to go to normandyng to visit the battles of the pacific. you can go to gettysburg and stand there on a hot july day and through the heat and the countryside you can still sense the cost of war and it's critical and you can learn a little bit about the history of the cost of war which i think is important for all americans and the american presidents to understand. pickets charge was basically a suicidal run up the side of cemetery ridge. >> you stand there and i remember -- you go to so many battlefields and there's no way for you to recreate it but you stand at the top and you look down at picket's charge and you gasp. >> right. >> you look down and you can envision 12 to 13,000 confederate soldiers running up that hill to the velocity of the union artillery and you can understand why general longstreet disagreed with general lee about doing this, about the tactics involved and you can certainly understand that during the course of july 3rd and yesterday july 4th, they took the day off to gather the d

coast guard cutter that played a key role in the invasion of normandy sunk on purpose.ickly takes on water. it took just three minutes total for the ship to sink off the coast of florida. it will become an artificial reef for scuba divers. here's another look at the ship from a distance during world war ii, it was the last one to radio back to say the weather was clearing for the d-day invasion, the reef is the first off-shore veterans me morm. those are your headlines. >> let's officially bring in new jersey governor chris christie. welcome back. >> good to be here. >> i have to say that i think jack wells tweeted out something that rupert murdoch tweeted out right away, i know you're tight with governor romney and his campaign, it's time to change some things within his campaign. do you think governor romney should visit where he's at in these two days he has off? >> i really don't. if you look at where the race is right now, saw some recent polls coming out this morning showing in the battleground states, governor romney has a pretty sizable lead over president obama

i was the leader with a lot and had not had any combat training before, went into normandy, and when we got into this situation in the hedgerows, we knocked out three machine-gun nests and then we knocked out a mortar position. the next day, i was the leader of my squad, and i knew it number-one thing was, i could smell the germans. had a platoon leader who had just come over from fort benning georgia. he was a lieutenant. he tell me to go out and go into this town. my platoon leader tell me to take the squad out, and i started to lead the squad. he said sgt, we don't do it that way. he said, you send out two of your scouts, and i am going to follow them, and then you bring the squad behind them. i said, that is not the right way to do it. my squad was not that well trained. i said well, that is why i do it. he said, this is a direct order. so they go out in germany. they got pinned down by at tank sitting in a little town out there across an alley. they saw these guys coming across the field so they started firing on them. they got into a hole in could not get out. so i got a bazook

to die on the beaches of normandy and iwo jima. and on the battlefields of shiloh and antietam for me. so that i can draw from america's great accounts and look good and be presidential and have fun and all kinds of ways. that is what they say. if not in words, then indelibly in actions. they who in robbing peter to pay paul present themselves as payers and forget that they are also robbers. they who with steady compassion minister to some of us at the expense of others. they who make goodness and charity a public profession, depending on their election for well-mannered embrace of these things, and the power to move them not from within themselves or by their own sacrifices but by compulsion from others. they who, knowing very little or next to nothing, take pride in eagerly telling everyone else what to do. they who believe absolutely in the recitation of pites pieties not because they believe in them but because they believe in themselves. nearly 400 years, america's hard-earned accounts, the principles we established, the bats
