i think we saw during the clinton administration, we saw the u.s.s. coal attack we saw tan tanzania leveled. terror is coming back. we tried to ignore it and say it's not our fight. every politician needs to stand up and tell the public, whether they like it or not, this is a very long war against terrorism. it may never end and it's going to be expensive, but we have to be out front. if you've ever worked in a multilateral setting, the united states must lead. it doesn't necessarily mean we have to put boots on the ground, but we have to call the meeting and we have to figure out who is doing what. >> rick grinnell in the delightfully sunny palm springs. nau very much. it's good to see you. >> thanks. i'm sorry to rub it in. >> it is what it is, right? >>> and most of us really are glad we're not in boston. as we speak, another winter storm is slamming into new england bringing more than 2 feet of snow to some areas. many cities are simply shut down as back-to-back storms are actually too much to deal with. the blizzard warnings go from connecticut al

he was flying off the u.s.s. coral sea in an f-8 crusader and was shot down on a low-level mission, flying about 1,000 feet above the ground. now, for those, mr. speaker, that don't know what an f-8 crusader is, it is a jet that can fly at mack 1.72, nearly twice the speed of sound, and when it would fill up with smoke after he was hit, he had very little time to eject. he ejected. his parachute opened about 35 feet above the ground and he broke his back on impact. now, this is an incredible story. yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of being shot down. that was one of the darkest days, i would argue, certainly in our family but for american servicemen and certainly aviators, that's certainly a very dark day. today, february 12, it marks a very different day, a day for us to rejoice because it was the day that marks operation homecoming. the day that nearly -- well, over 600 american p.o.w.'s would eventually be released and february 12 was the day that those first p.o.w.'s would be released from the waloi priso
