yeah, a great point. much of the hardest work happens when the cameras aren t there anymore. when the spotlight is no longer on the tragedy and so much of that help comes from these volunteers, from relief workers who are on the ground right now and who will be there for weeks and months on end. joining me now is alvin migez, the texas division disaster coordinator for the salvation army. the work you do and your teams do is remarkable. can you share with us what people are saying to you as they come back and they see what is left, if anything, of their homes? well, poppy, thank you for having us on this morning. the salvation army has been in some of the neighborhoods now in the last couple days, starting to see obviously the destruction that is so terrible that we re not able to get around very well. but the people that we have talked to are definitely in need of a lot of things. they need water. they need hydration, obviously. they need food. we have 28 canteens. our mobile kitc
war. i spoke exclusively with dr. john bernard. he is the chief scientist with a defense department prisoner of war and missing in action accounting agency, which is handling the identification process. so, first on the scene, hours ago, new information, the new artifacts, and you got them laid out behind you, because we thought there was only one set of dog tags that came back with 55 remains. but there was more. what else is there? this was material that is typical of what we find on battlefield sites in both north and south korea. we ve worked there in the past. these are military issue items, such as boots, gloves, canteens, muskets, you see behind me a steel pot helmet that was typical of what was used during. part of a mess kit, a scabbard
several canteens have been recovered as government scientists are working on identifying the presumed remains of u.s. service members lost during the korean war. returned to u.s. oil today. what we saw were remains that were consistent with what we have found from korean war recoveries we have done over the years, and we found remains that were consistent with being americans. shannon: former green beret commander and current reservist, colonel mike waltz is here to weigh in on that it what it means for our diplomatic efforts. great to have you with those. oh, shannon. shannon: the president says that it represents the top talks, the negotiations in singapore are working with north korea, while critics say may be but they are not getting rid of the nuclear program. what do you say? before we get into the negotiations, can i just reiterate, when we go into combat, we make a solemn oath to our brothers and sisters, to the
hell melts, canteens, buttons, boots, gloves, and socks all from the korean war. dog tag will be given to the fallen shoulders. in arlington, virginia. that s a look at your headline. too think that all all these years we have them now. steve: certainty. brian: sincerity. you didn t know what they were going to get. on the transfer they were sincere they were going to preserve the remains as best they could and information exchanged. the next thing is would you allow our people to scour the countryside because we know where these people were last seen. where the battles took place. where the planes crashed. where the people were shot. if you don t want us to do it, have the u.n. do it. steve: they are not going to do it. brian: no one thought we would see this. steve: no. absolutely. we do not know the identity of the name on the dog tag but that family has been notified and as jillian jewels said they are going to be at arlington very
things in the coming weeks. brian: still missing at least 7,000. great gesture let us walk the country with exploration teams in order to go back to the sites from 65 years ago. they would let us do it in the south. they are not going to let us as of now do it in the north. steve: they don t want americans there pete, thank you very much for the live report. thank you, guys. steve: we got back on american soil yesterday the 55 cases. and inside one of them, one set of dog tags and apparently that family has been notified. and i was reading one of the reports from asia that said that they also returned some materials, for instance, military hardware, some uniforms, some helmets, some canteens and boots are being returned in those boxes. ainsley: i once was lost and now i m found. this was the headline for the new york post this morning coming home. can you see the caskets draped in red, white, and blue. steve: it was solemn and stirring. we asked you for your
