i mean imagine for his family, the hoffa kids, we can talk about that in a little bit, but this is a search, a hunt for the former teamster boss that has confounded the fbi for almost four decades now, ashleigh. just within the last hour, the bob foley, the fbi special agent in charge here, came out and told us, the media, who have been cammed out here since early monday morning no jimmy hoffa remains in the field behind me, none at all. they ve searched a plot about as big as an acre. they called this a diligent search over two plus days, saying they are absolutely certain that no human remains are in that field. why did they come here? they came here because an 85-year-old guy named tony zerilli, an alleged mob underboss here in detroit, admittedly a good friend of jimmy hoffa, tipped them off, went to the feds within the last year and said, he was taken here, jimmy hoffa, hit over the head with a shovel, buried alive. the fbi says no.

please welcome general kehoe and our medal of honor recipients. [ applause ] good afternoon. let me make a comment on that video we showed. we like to start with that because it kind of sets the scene and brings forth the sense of humility that i have found that these gentlemen carry with them throughout their lives after they ve received this medal. the sense of camaraderie that they feel for their comrades and it also brings home the span of generations that have received this medal since the civil war where it was first awarded in 1863 to today where you saw the award of the first medal of honor to a living recipient since the vietnam war, sal junta. it is so gratifying to know that the young men and women who serve today do so with the same spirit of courage and sacrifice as those in the generations before them. and all of the men and women who serve. today we have two medal of honor recipients with us. i ll go into questions in just a minute, but let me introduce them
