Thousands of bikers rallied at the pentagon and made the fourhour ride around the nations capital. They crossed the arlington memoril bridge, rode around the Washington Mall and stopped at Vietnam Veterans memorial. Riders ended up at west potomac park where donald trump addressed the crowd. So Rolling Thunder i will say no matter where i go, Rolling Thunder, look at all the bikers, do we love the bikers . Yes, we love the bikers. But all over the place, no matter where i go there is bikers. And they come with the bikers and the bikes are all over. We have had cases where we would have like, make a speech, and we would have 500 bikes. We would have 1,000 bikes. And i said what are they all doing here . And my people would say, theyre here to protect you, mr. Trump. It is an amazing thing. An amazing thing. And i want to till you, some of these people are tough. And some of the guys i see on that bike, i tell you what theyre rough. I get out and i shake their hands and they are, ill tell you, there is love, there is love, and it is an incredible feeling. Thats why i wanted to be with you today. I appreciate being invited. We are with you 100 . Trump promised the crowd if he is elected president he will build a bigger, better mill taerks and in his words knock the hell out of the islamic state. The next big date on the political calendar next tuesday when a host of states including california will hold their primaries. Trump vowed to win the golden state.

Sanders is looking to get his message out. And Hillary Clinton refuses to take the stage with him. Sanders spoke with John Dickerson for face the nation. Senator, wanted to ask you, looks like the debate with donald trump in california is not going to happen. Do you think he was ever serious about the debate. Donald trump said he wanted to go forward. Then changed his mind, said no. Yes. Changed his mind. Said no. Maybe a call in five minutes heave will say yes again. I think that is who donald trump is. I think the American People should be very concerned about somebody who keeps changing his mind not only on this deep bait but on virtually every issue he has been asked about. When donald trump said he wasnt going to participate, he said the democratic nominating process is totally rigged. He went on to say, Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman schultz will not allow Bernie Anders to win. Do you agree with his characterization . I have been very touched by Donald Trumps love for me. John, in all due respect. I think there may be some some aspect of this which he things will advantage himself. So i do appreciate his love and his compassion for me, but i dont really accept his word. Look. We knew when we were in this, we were taking on the entire democratic establishment. No secret about that. Yet we have won 20 states. In california right now. I think we have a good chance to win here. I think we have an uphill fight. There is just a possibility that we may end up at the end of this nominating process, with more pledged delegates than Hillary Clinton. What has upset me. I wouldnt use the word rigged we knew what the rules were. What is really dumb. You have closed primaries in new york state. 3 million people, democrats or republicans could not participate. Where you have a situation where over 400 superdelegates came on board Clintons Campaign before anybody else in the race. Eight months before the first vote was cast. Thats not rigged. Just a dumb process which has certainly disadvantaged our campaign. You are going to try to convince the superdelegates when said and done to go with you instead of Hillary Clinton. You made a distinction. Will you not try to convince any superdelegate . If i win or Hillary Clinton if that is your point. Hillary clinton won mississippi by a huge vote. Should i convince superdelegate there is to vote for me when she won the state overwhelmingly. No, i shouldnt. But we want states, you know, like washington, alaska, hawaii, new hampshire, in landslide victories. I do believe that the superdelegates. Clintons or mine. States we won. Superdelegates where candidate wins a landslide victory should listen to the people in the states. President obama will mark memorial day at Arlington National cemetery.

Mere words cannot give voice to such suffering. But we have a shared responsibility to look directly into the eye of history. And ask what we must do differently to curb such suffering again. White house officials were insistent that this was no apology tour. But the president did reflect on the hundreds of thousands of souls lost as a result of president trumans decision. Justified then as a Necessary Evil to avoid a costly land invasion of japan. The heat of battle its faded from memory, but the images of destruction endure. It was here in hiroshima that death fell from the sky that august morning, ushering in a Global Nuclear arms race. While he has broke end significant arms control deals, mr. Obama hasnt made much of a dent in americas own nuclear stockpile. Reducing it less than any postcold war president. Today, a high tech bustling hiroshima has arisen from the ashes. As the the city has moved on so have japans leaders. The Prime Minister abe offered condolences to the american lives lost in world war ii. A tacit acknowledgement that japan first attacked the u. S. At pearl harbor. For president obama, visiting hiroshima, an attempt to bridge a painful divide with a former foe. Not the first time, having reap opened long severed ties with cuba, lifted arms embargo and negotiated with iran. When it comes to bearing the remnants of war there is nowhere he could have made his case more powerfully than here. This visit off to the Hallowed Ground of hiroshima was a call of action for the next generation to complete the work he will not finish and make sure a Nuclear Weapon is never used a factory closes.

The chevy camero earned a good ranking but lacks crash Avoidance Technology and struggled some on roof strength key to preventing injuries in a rollover crash. The dodge challenger, managed acceptable score, earning lower marks for roof strength and performance in the small overlap crash test. In that crash the dash pressed back, trapping the test dummy. The damage in the foot well was so bad, the dummys foot had to be unbolted from the leg. This would have been serious leg injuries for a real person. Ford calls this the safest mustang ever, reporting it received five stars in the government crash tests. Chevy and dodge did not comment on the iihs report. Kris van cleave, cbs news, washington. President obamas visit to hiroshima is an example of the United States putting the bitterness of world war ii in the past. Lee cowan found another example in the souvenirs some american soldiers brought back from the war in the pacific. Opposing sides in war share little. Other than perhaps a battlefield and the longing to go home. Glen stockdale of Billings Montana did come home. Fought the japanese in the pa sfic until 1945. As a young Staff Sergeant he saw things most could not imagine. Until the day he died at age 84, he kept most of it to himself. Never talked about the war. Reporter locked it all away. Yes, uhhuh. Reporter thats glens son terry. What he knew of his dads service came mostly from rummaging through his fathers old footlocker. It was in the basement. Kids go down and look ate. See what is in here and there. Reporter among other things, terry found a japanese flag. Scarefully folded. Stained with blood. And covered in writing. Then he found another. And another. They were memories of the war, a trophy, you know . Spoils of war. Reporter collecting them was common place. Pictures abound of u. S. Servicemen posing with the flags. Known as japanese soldiers carried them as keepsakes into battle. Good luck charms of sorts. With wishes from family and friends, scrolled around the rising sun. Keepsakes in battle. In stockdales footlocker the flags were ghosts of a long ago enemy. Nearing the end of his fathers life. Terry suggested it was time the flags go home. Reporter what did you say to him . I thought it would be nice to send it back to japan. He said no. Reporter because . Must be the hate from fighting people and just war. I dont, i dont know what that does to individuals. I have never been there. Reporter so thats where things and the flags sat. For more than a decade. Until terry heard another world war ii vet speak of the flags. His name was leiland bud lewis. In the same Infantry Division as terrys father. The 41st. They never met. Bud was behind the front lines sending the bombs and bullets up. Something that at age 95, bud still doesnt take lightly. I provided all of the ammunition that killed all of these folks. And im not exactly totally happy that i did that. But at the time, that was my job. I was, i couldnt question that. Reporter why now . Why important do you think to return the flags now . Well its a closure. You cant keep hating people. Reporter inspired, Terry Stockdale packed up one of his fathers flags and mailed it to the only place he thought could help. A home in a small town along the Columbia River in washington. Where the flags are celebrated with a ceremony. This is not the flag, it is the spirit of the soldier. We are wishing he can find a way to find a family in japan. Reporter keiko and red zeke run a nonprofit, obone society. In japan, a festival, honoring the spirits of ancestors. Turned their attic into a make shift flag research center. When we started out we thought we were just helping japanese families receive heirlooms. Then, as the this progressed we realize weed were connecting these families. Lots of personal messages. And many signatures. Keikos own grandfather died fighting in the pacific. But his grave is empty. No bone, no remaining item, nothing came back. Reporter one day his flag did. We all thought that that spirit of the grandfather finally wanted to come home to seep us. Reporter it had such a profound effect they wanted to see if they could identify more soldiers flags and send them back to japan. Once word got out. They were stunned. Flags from veterans or their families started arriving almost weekly. Some times they include photographs of their father as a soldier, or family pictures of themselves now, it any just this, it is this, connection of this family to this family that that were brought together through war. Reporter so far reunited 60 flags with japanese families and more than 100 they are all researching. All at their own expense. Terry stockdale waited and hoped. Then came word that the obone society traced his flag become to a man named yogoshu kishi, a young soldier kissed his wife, 7monthold son and 2yearold daughter goodbye and never saw them again. Those children, now 73, and his sister, 75, both live outside osaka. They knew little of their father until one day last december the phone rang. Translator when i got the call, i thought this was impossible. My mind just went blank. After 70 years, i never dreamed something of my fathers would surface. Reporter they found out terry not only had their fathers flag, but he wanted to come to japan to deliver it himself. Anxious they met terry at the train station. What happened next . Says it all. I mean, it is just beyond comprehension whatit meant to them. It just wasnt some souvenir, it was their father coming home. Terry officially handed it over at a formal ceremony. And then stepped back to watch two people who never knew their father, unfurl his flag, together. Translator we dont know the warmth of his hands, the sound of his voice. I cant remember a thing about my father. And i said, im sorry dad, to that flag. Im so sorry. It just feels so good to do something for somebody. Reporter as for his own father, well, terry hopes that Staff Sergeant Glen Stockdale is also finally at peace. He would be proud of me. He would know it is the right thing to do. Ialmost everything.

Reporter there are 58,315 names on the Vietnam Veterans memorial. This is the story of why there is not one more. A story about a soldier who came as close to dying as any man alive. I have never heard a story like this. No. Reporter the kind of thing nightmares are made of . Or blessings. Reporter john colognes blessing of a nightmare began february 19, 1968. His Army Airborne platoon was on patrol near the river when he and his men came under intense enemy fire. All hell broke loose. Reporter john was shot four times. I heard guys say i was dead. Cologne is dead, cologne is dead. Leave him alone. Reporter you heard people saying that . Absolutely. I was put in a body bag, toe tagged. Taken to the morgue. He came in as doa. He worked at the morgue. A job he took so seriously. To make sure he never sent a live soldier home in a box, on his own, he used to open each body bag. Take a pen to the foot. He was testing the plantar reflex. I would do it twice. And i did that. And he went, uh and i did it again. Uh and i said, wow. Reporter and that is how john cologne came back from the dead. Which john says is a mixed blessing. He lost his life. He lost his life. He lost his life. He lost his life. He lost his life. Reporter eight soldiers, a third of his platoon died that day. You still wonder, why me . Reporter even today you keep asking that . Absolutely. Why did you survive . Reporter it is a hopelessly rhetorical question. But as we walk through the cemetery where he would have been buried, john shared what may be part of the reason. So thats when i thought, lets do something. Reporter a few years ago, he started sending flowers on memorial day to the graves of all of the men who died in that battle. Later, he expanded to everyone who died in his battalion during the whole war. More than 8,000 dollars worth of flowers. More 160 graves. And now, he is calling on you to join him. To adopt a veterans grave. One day a year asking somebody to do something. To clean it up and lay some flowers so thats eventually, every vietnam veteran can be rightfully remembered. I hope i am around here to witness that. Maybe that will answer that question why . Reporter certainly. Something to live for.
