[0:02] On World News Tonight this Sunday, it's

[0:05] official. All Yugoslav troops have left

[0:08] Kosovo and NATO declares an end to its

[0:10] air campaign.

[0:12] As the G8 summit comes to a close,

[0:15] Presidents Clinton and Yelen making up

[0:18] and moving on. Eerie echoes of his

[0:21] fiction. Master of horror Stephven King

[0:24] seriously injured after being struck by

[0:26] a minivan. And on this Father's Day,

[0:30] honoring the father she barely knew

[0:39] >> from ABC.

[0:41] This is World News Tonight Sunday.

[0:46] >> Good evening. I'm Carol Simpson. Kasovo

[0:48] is officially at peace tonight. Yugoslav

[0:51] troops have withdrawn from the province

[0:53] and NATO has formally called off its air

[0:55] war. All this as the G8 summit was

[0:58] wrapping up. In its final communicate,

[1:01] there was no mention that Serbia will

[1:03] not receive foreign aid as long as

[1:06] Slobodon Mallosvich remains in power.

[1:08] But that is exactly what NATO leaders

[1:11] were saying today while all eyes were on

[1:13] Russian President Boris Yelen, the man

[1:16] responsible for what was left out of

[1:18] that communicate. We begin tonight with

[1:21] ABC's Sam Donaldson.

[1:24] It seems like only yesterday that

[1:25] Russian President Yelen was bitterly

[1:27] denouncing NATO over Kosovo. But upon

[1:30] arriving today in Cologne, Yelson

[1:32] clearly wanted to make up.

[1:35] >> It's important to mend ties, he said.

[1:37] And in fact, his hourlong meeting with

[1:39] President Clinton was described by US

[1:41] officials as being the best meeting the

[1:44] two have ever had. President Yelson was

[1:46] animated and and uh I would say it was a

[1:49] meeting of renewal.

[1:51] >> To prove his spirit of cooperation,

[1:53] Yelson agreed to consider reopening the

[1:55] anti-bballistic missile treaty,

[1:57] something Washington may want if the US

[1:59] decides to deploy a missile defense

[2:01] system. When Yeltson joined the final

[2:04] meeting of the Industrial Nations, he

[2:05] also seemed friendly and vigorous. But

[2:08] there were moments throughout the day

[2:10] when the Russian president clearly

[2:11] looked otherwise. Watch how difficult it

[2:14] was for him at one point to emerge from

[2:16] his automobile.

[2:18] As for President Clinton, he

[2:19] acknowledged today in a CNN interview

[2:21] that when the NATO bombing campaign

[2:23] began, he thought victory might come

[2:25] quickly.

[2:26] >> I thought that there was maybe a 50%

[2:29] chance it would be over in a week

[2:32] because once he knew we would do it, I

[2:34] thought he would remember Bosnia and I

[2:38] thought he would understand what we

[2:39] could do.

[2:41] But I knew that if he decided to take

[2:44] the punishment of the air campaign, it

[2:46] could go along quite a long while.

[2:48] >> In the end, of course, it worked. As

[2:50] celebrated here at the summit, and in

[2:52] the end, the Russian US relationship got

[2:54] back on track as validated here at the

[2:56] summit. President Clinton leaves here

[2:59] tomorrow, a happy man. Sam Donaldson,

[3:02] ABC News, Cologne.

[3:04] When and how the Kosovo Liberation Army

[3:07] will give up most of its guns is not

[3:09] completely clear tonight, but NATO

[3:12] officials expect an agreement within the

[3:14] next two days. There were other

[3:16] obstacles to navigate for the final Serb

[3:19] troops leaving the province and for the

[3:21] refugees returning. From inside Kosovo,

[3:24] two reports starting with ABC's Morton

[3:27] Dean.

[3:29] On a highway heading out of Kosovo, a

[3:32] final act of humiliation for the Serb

[3:34] army today. Military transports escorted

[3:37] by NATO forces dashing to the border to

[3:40] meet tonight's deadline. Also leaving

[3:42] Kosovo today, more Serb civilians. Their

[3:45] fear of reprisals now at the panic

[3:47] point. They are getting a lot of advice

[3:49] to stay in Kosovo. Today, Serbs heard

[3:52] one of their religious leaders and a

[3:54] NATO chaplain promise them protection.

[3:57] What we're trying to do with them is to

[3:59] reassure the Serbian population uh that

[4:03] the forces on the ground here are here

[4:06] to try to protect them. Some Kosvar

[4:09] Serbs who did leave gathered in Belgrade

[4:11] today to express their anger at how they

[4:13] were being treated by the Mallosvich

[4:15] government while the government claims

[4:17] some refugees were willingly heading

[4:19] back to Kosovo.

[4:21] But it's the flow of returning Albanian

[4:24] refugees that continues to crowd even

[4:26] the country lanes in Kosovo. This family

[4:29] had fled seven months ago.

[4:34] >> Little was left for them to return to.

[4:39] >> She said they've destroyed everything.

[4:42] Can human beings do this sort of thing?

[4:45] One thing they did not destroy, her

[4:47] grandson's favorite toy. Morton Dean,

[4:51] ABC News, Flap Page, Kosovo.

[4:56] >> This is Tom Foreman in a field just

[4:58] inside Kosovo where 4,000 cars were

[5:01] abandoned last March after Serb police

[5:04] forced ethnic Albanians to walk to the

[5:06] border. Now the Albanians are back

[5:09] looking through the wreckage for what

[5:11] they lost. Jivat Borbashik found his car

[5:14] like almost all the rest, ruined.

[5:19] All my money was taken. He says, "I have

[5:21] none for repairs. I have five children.

[5:24] My house has been burned. I don't know

[5:26] what I'm going to do."

[5:29] >> No wonder this man considered himself

[5:31] lucky when he found his tractor in

[5:33] operating condition.

[5:36] >> We've got to work in the fields. We've

[5:37] got to have bread to eat. Because of

[5:40] this, we will live. Everyone here knows

[5:43] for Kosovo to get past the enormous

[5:46] tragedies it has faced, people must

[5:48] first wade through this unending sea of

[5:51] small ones.

[5:55] >> Some of the cars will be good only for

[5:57] parts, this man says. But in a place

[6:00] where so much has gone wrong,

[6:03] one good part can mean the world. Tom

[6:07] Foreman, ABC News, Global, Kosovo.

[6:11] ABC's reporters have been inside Kosovo

[6:14] for one week observing the devastation

[6:17] we've been piecing together from refugee

[6:19] accounts over the last three months. In

[6:22] tonight's reporter's notebook, they

[6:24] describe what it's like to see it

[6:26] firsthand.

[6:30] >> This is a place where around every

[6:32] corner you seem to find something that

[6:35] smells of evil. It is so easy to find

[6:37] mass graves here. We went out and went

[6:39] with a uh with a guy who was looking for

[6:41] mines. He was not looking for bodies. He

[6:43] was looking for mines. And there's these

[6:46] little children, a little tiny foot, a

[6:47] little tiny hand just sitting in a ditch

[6:49] here in Kosovo. These are the kinds of

[6:51] things you see everywhere.

[6:53] >> The local journalists are sort of all of

[6:56] them are involved personally in this

[6:59] story. Basically, everywhere you touch

[7:01] here, you know, there's a story.

[7:05] >> This wasn't just Sloven Mall. You had

[7:08] 40,000 sort of troops here doing these

[7:10] things. You you had at least segments of

[7:13] the population that approved of it or

[7:15] that closed a blind or turned a blind

[7:17] eye to it. But it makes me very angry. I

[7:19] mean, I'm not willing to give them a

[7:21] pass on this. I'm not willing, I think,

[7:23] to let them say

[7:25] >> it's okay, it was just the regime or

[7:27] it's okay, it was just the army.

[7:30] >> I don't think that every Serb has to be

[7:32] indicted as a word criminal. Not every

[7:34] one of them is guilty. But I do think

[7:36] that they have this collective

[7:38] responsibility. Personally, I don't

[7:41] think if I can bring myself to live

[7:43] again or say hi and drink coffee with my

[7:46] served neighbors because they were the

[7:48] ones that didn't stop police or

[7:51] paramilitaries enter my flat and destroy

[7:54] it.

[7:57] >> In one place, we found these bombed out

[7:59] Serbian tanks. And next to one of the

[8:01] tanks were these burned up charred love

[8:03] letters. apparently to one of the

[8:05] Serbian soldiers. They were just like

[8:07] any love letter you would have ever read

[8:09] anywhere. And to see that human side of

[8:12] of this soldier, whomever he may might

[8:14] be, is very hard to reconcile with the

[8:17] fact that the people in that village

[8:19] said this same group of soldiers, killed

[8:22] three people there, abducted two women,

[8:24] generally terrorized the town.

[8:29] >> I saw a little Albanian boy rip up and

[8:31] spit on a Serbian flag. He couldn't have

[8:33] been more than 6 years old. This is the

[8:35] kind of hatred that they feel already. I

[8:38] just cannot imagine this place being

[8:40] Serb and Albanian in any real way uh for

[8:43] a very very long time.

[8:45] >> We go to these places time after time

[8:47] after time. And we come in and we think

[8:50] we're pretty tough. I mean, I've seen

[8:52] the worst that that people can do to

[8:54] each other. Like, okay, I can handle

[8:55] this. But you talk to these kids who

[8:58] have watched people killed in front of

[8:59] them. They live in a different world.

[9:00] That's a world I I'll I hope I will

[9:03] never know or understand. And I don't

[9:05] think we can ever get at that. We can

[9:07] take their pictures. We can ask them,

[9:09] but we'll never understand.

[9:12] >> Tonight's reporter's notebook. Still

[9:14] ahead on World News Tonight Sunday, the

[9:16] feud brewing over a national anti-drug

[9:19] campaign. Stephen King's collision with

[9:22] real danger. And the call that all

[9:25] hockey fans are talking about.

[9:30] This is World News Tonight Sunday

[9:33] brought to you by Kelloggs.

[10:05] tickle your senses.

[10:07] >> What's so different about specialized

[10:08] blends from one a day? They're not just

[10:10] herbs. They're herbs, vitamins, and

[10:13] minerals. Specially blended together for

[10:15] things like energy.

[10:18] One a day. Just what you need to feel

[10:20] your best. Why do I have AFLAC insurance

[10:24] on top of my regular health insurance?

[10:27] Because he has his mother's eyes.

[10:30] Because I still have to teach him to

[10:32] whistle.

[10:34] And because AFLAC helps cover what other

[10:36] insurance doesn't. If I'm injured, AFLAC

[10:39] even provides cash to help pay bills. So

[10:42] why do I have AFLAC?

[10:44] Did I mention he has his mother's eyes?

[10:48] AFLAC supplemental insurance. Without

[10:50] it, no insurance is complete.

[10:53] >> You're not taking that laxative. Look,

[10:56] the label says it may cause cramping.

[10:58] >> All these laxatives have stimulants that

[10:59] may cause cramping. Phillips doesn't.

[11:01] It's stimulant free.

[11:02] >> What a rare purse.

[11:03] >> She sure is.

[11:05] >> Phillips effective relief without harsh

[11:07] stimulants.

[11:09] >> On the Sunday talk shows, a lot of

[11:11] fingerpointing in the wake of the

[11:13] House's failure to pass gun control

[11:15] legislation. House Majority Whip Tom

[11:17] Delay laid the blame squarely at the

[11:19] feet of House Democrats.

[11:22] >> We addressed spirituality and faith.

[11:25] They said no. We addressed getting tough

[11:27] on thugs and murders and rapists. They

[11:29] said no. We addressed uh uh putting

[11:32] people away behind bars. Uh they said

[11:34] no. Uh we addressed the garbage that

[11:37] Hollywood and video games are are using

[11:39] to poison our children. They said no.

[11:42] This is clearly a Republican failure and

[11:45] a Republican responsibility. The

[11:46] American people understand who's for uh

[11:49] some very legitimate and moderate

[11:52] efforts to control uh illegal sales of

[11:55] guns and those who are not.

[11:58] >> Senator Dashel also said there is still

[11:59] a glimmer of hope that congressional

[12:01] negotiators will include gun control

[12:04] measures in the final version of the

[12:06] juvenile crime bill. A House committee

[12:09] may vote as early as this week on a

[12:11] measure that could dramatically change

[12:13] the approach to the government's largest

[12:16] anti-drug campaign ever. At issue,

[12:18] alcohol. As ABC's Andrea McCarron

[12:21] reports,

[12:23] >> this is what happens to your brain after

[12:25] snorting heroin.

[12:29] >> The ads are riveting.

[12:30] >> This is what your body goes through.

[12:33] >> Part of a 5-year billion dollar media

[12:36] blitz.

[12:36] >> Your family goes through. But the public

[12:38] service campaign run by the White House

[12:40] Office of National Drug Policy has

[12:43] become somewhat of a public relations

[12:45] nightmare. It has infuriated dozens of

[12:48] groups like Mothers Against Drunk

[12:49] Driving and the American Medical

[12:51] Association. They're angry because the

[12:54] ads do not include any warning about

[12:56] what they say is the drug of choice

[12:58] among young people, alcohol.

[13:00] >> The fact that alcohol isn't mentioned is

[13:02] like going to medical school and not

[13:03] learning about cancer. There is still

[13:06] debate over whether alcohol even is a

[13:08] drug. But according to a Columbia

[13:10] University study, more than 67% of young

[13:14] people under the age of 15 who drink

[13:16] alcohol go on to use illegal drugs.

[13:21] 18-year-old Brendan Broen is among those

[13:23] lobbying lawmakers to pass a bill that

[13:26] would allow the ad campaign to include a

[13:28] warning about underage drinking. Rogan

[13:30] won't touch alcohol now, but four years

[13:33] ago, a night of binge drinking left the

[13:35] teenager hospitalized.

[13:37] >> Most kids these days think that the

[13:38] worst thing that can happen if they do

[13:40] drink is, you know, get a raging

[13:42] hangover or or they throw up. And a most

[13:45] kids don't realize that you can actually

[13:46] die from it.

[13:47] >> The White House and the Partnership for

[13:49] a Drug-Free America don't want to change

[13:51] their ad campaign. They fear that adding

[13:54] a warning about underage drinking would

[13:56] dilute their message. we would lose the

[13:58] momentum that we've already built on

[14:00] helping to reverse uh illegal drug use.

[14:03] >> With more than three years left to the

[14:04] national media campaign, a compromise

[14:07] may be on the horizon. One that has the

[14:09] White House Drug Policy Office

[14:11] developing a strategy for a whole new

[14:14] campaign. This one aimed at underage

[14:16] drinking. Andrea McCarron, ABC News,

[14:19] Washington.

[14:21] Still ahead, from imaginary fright to

[14:24] reality for one of America's top

[14:27] storytellers.

[14:31] >> Overactive bladder,

[14:33] >> those strong sudden urges, going to the

[14:36] bathroom so often, wedding accidents.

[14:38] >> Discover prescription DRL. Detro is

[14:41] proven effective to treat overactive

[14:43] bladder. Detro reduced bathroom visits

[14:45] by 2.2 two times in 24 hours versus 1.1

[14:49] times with a sugar pill.

[14:50] >> Stay a little longer.

[14:51] >> Love to.

[14:53] >> 1.2 fewer wedding accidents occurred

[14:55] with detrol versus8 fewer with a sugar

[14:57] pill. Similar decreases over 24 hours.

[15:00] Do not take detrol if you have certain

[15:02] types of stomach, urinary or glaucoma

[15:04] problems. The most common side effect is

[15:07] dry mouth at 39.5% for detrol versus

[15:10] 15.9% for sugar pill. Common but less

[15:13] frequent ones may include dry eyes,

[15:15] headache, constipation, and indigestion.

[15:17] >> Head back?

[15:19] >> Not right now.

[15:20] >> For more product information, call us or

[15:23] ask your doctor about prescription

[15:25] detective

[15:28] >> Brad, I asked my doctor about Drol.

[15:34] >> Where will you be when the millennium

[15:35] turns?

[15:40] >> Your dreams change.

[15:42] So have we. Now Dean Witter and Morgan

[15:45] Stanley have joined to provide a world

[16:02] It's summer when everybody can use the

[16:04] refreshment of a good hose down. And

[16:06] your deck can use the refreshment of a

[16:07] new coat of Thompson's Wood Protector.

[16:09] For rain, sun, mildew. It's the most

[16:12] powerful Thompson's yet. Thompson's Wood

[16:14] Protector. It never takes a day off.

[16:18] >> Summer time to get busy with Red

[16:21] Lobsters 30 shrimp dinner for $9.99.

[16:26] >> Two choices, 30 shrimp. $9.99.

[16:30] >> Escape to Red Lobster.

[16:33] >> A new satellite expected to sharpen

[16:35] weather forecasting is in orbit tonight.

[16:38] NASA's $93 million Quick Scat satellite

[16:42] was launched on board a Titan rocket

[16:44] last night. The device will track

[16:46] weather abnormalities like El Nino.

[16:50] In what could be a scene out of one of

[16:53] his bestsellers, the nation's leading

[16:55] horror writer, Stephen King, is in

[16:58] serious but stable condition after being

[17:00] struck by a motorist. Details from ABC's

[17:03] Jamie Floyd.

[17:05] Steven King is resting tonight following

[17:07] a 5-hour surgery for injuries he

[17:09] sustained in the accident. Doctors are

[17:11] closely monitoring him, but say his

[17:13] condition is not life-threatening. King,

[17:15] 51, was hit by a Dodge Caravan when its

[17:18] driver was distracted by his dog in the

[17:21] car.

[17:21] >> The car appeared to be going just

[17:24] normal, you know, not nothing out of the

[17:26] ordinary. And then when he got right up

[17:27] to Mr. King, he just swerved and went

[17:29] right over and hit him.

[17:32] King was walking here, as he often does,

[17:35] south along Route 5 when the van hit him

[17:38] from behind. Police say a witness stayed

[17:41] with King while the driver went for

[17:43] help. King landed in a ditch about 14 ft

[17:47] off the road.

[17:48] >> He was in a lot of pain. Um, he was a

[17:50] little disoriented, but he was still

[17:52] able to talk to me, give me phone

[17:54] numbers.

[17:54] >> No charges have been filed against the

[17:57] driver. There's no indication that

[17:59] alcohol was a factor or that excessive

[18:01] speed was was a factor.

[18:04] >> Dozens of King's harrowing tales, many

[18:07] of them set in his native state of

[18:08] Maine, have been turned into hit films,

[18:11] including Carrie and The Shining. The

[18:14] Master of Horror, as he is known, is the

[18:16] author of 36 novels, including his

[18:19] recent The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

[18:22] Observers couldn't help but notice an

[18:24] eerie echo of King's evil car in

[18:26] Christine, rabid dog in Kujo, and the

[18:29] premise of his novel Misery. A famous

[18:32] novelist in a car accident. King's wife

[18:35] and his three children are with him

[18:37] tonight. Jamie Floyd, ABC News. Love

[18:40] Maine.

[21:17] baseball, and controversy for the

[21:19] winners of the NHL Stanley Cup. We turn

[21:22] to our colleagues at ESPN and Sports

[21:24] Cent's Kenny Maine. Kenny,

[21:26] >> thanks Carol. The NBA's title series

[21:28] resumes Monday with game three at

[21:30] Madison Square Garden in New York. The

[21:32] Spurs lead the Knicks two nothing in the

[21:34] best of seven. Baseball played on

[21:36] Sunday. Now, Mark Maguire and his

[21:37] Cardinals against the Mets. And Mark

[21:39] Maguire is the Bronny paper towel guy.

[21:41] Homer number 21, 33 last year at this

[21:44] point. Boston's Pedro Martinez beat the

[21:46] Rangers for his 13th win of the season.

[21:48] That's the most in baseball. He had 10

[21:49] strikeouts. Also leads the majors in

[21:51] that category when Brett Hull's

[21:53] game-winning goal hit the net in the

[21:55] third overtime of game six. The Dallas

[21:57] Stars had their first ever Stanley Cup.

[21:59] The NHL had itself a problem. As Steve

[22:02] Levy reports, a seasonl long disputed

[22:04] rule and a season ending disputed goal

[22:07] came together in the final play.

[22:10] All it lacked was 23 more seconds which

[22:13] would have made it the longest game in

[22:15] Stanley Cup finals history. It had

[22:17] everything else.

[22:19] >> Just by hull shot

[22:21] loose p

[22:24] score the score. They won the Stanley

[22:28] Cup.

[22:29] >> Buffalo has to deal with double

[22:31] disappointment losing the Stanley Cup

[22:33] finals and on a controversial goal. All

[22:36] I wanted was a review, but I mean,

[22:40] everybody saw it. I mean, once you

[22:41] you've got 200 people on the ice,

[22:43] nobody's they're not going to review it.

[22:44] >> People out there are going to be able to

[22:45] see and make their own determination.

[22:47] Um, you know, but for us, it's over to

[22:49] them. We can't uh uh sit here and whine

[22:51] about it.

[22:51] >> Michael, do you feel like they've been

[22:52] robbed?

[22:54] >> I don't know. Uh, ask the league if they

[22:57] felt like they robbed us.

[22:59] >> I haven't even seen the the goal, you

[23:01] know. I I don't know. I'm just uh

[23:04] thrilled to death that it's over. Uh,

[23:06] you know, I don't know that there's a

[23:08] controversy or not, but uh, I think it's

[23:11] over now. We we've got the cup.

[23:13] >> It is interesting to note that during

[23:14] these Stanley Cup finals, NHL GMs voted

[23:17] to modify the Crease rule, and that will

[23:19] go into effect next season. For Buffalo,

[23:22] it's just another heartbreaking loss to

[23:24] the city of Dallas. The Stanley Cup now

[23:27] resides deep in the heart of Texas.

[23:29] Covering the Stanley Cup finals from

[23:30] Buffalo, New York, Steve Levy, ESPN.

[23:33] >> Steve, thanks. Sabres coach Lindy Ruff

[23:35] said he chased down Commissioner Gary

[23:37] Bman following the game and Bman turned

[23:39] his back on him. That's Sunday's sports

[23:41] and brief. Carol,

[23:43] >> thanks ESPN's Kenny Main. Still ahead, a

[23:47] daughter's story on this Father's Day.

[23:55] Courage, something shared by countless

[23:58] Americans.

[24:00] Those who risk their lives.

[24:02] those who battle serious illness. When I

[24:04] was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I

[24:07] was primarily concerned with ridding

[24:08] myself of the cancer. But secondly, I

[24:11] was concerned about possible

[24:12] post-operative side effects like

[24:14] erectile dysfunction, ED,

[24:17] often called impetence. You know, it's a

[24:19] little embarrassing to talk about ED,

[24:22] but it's so important to millions of men

[24:23] and their partners that I decided to

[24:25] talk about it publicly. And after all,

[24:28] it can be associated with many

[24:29] conditions, including prostate surgery,

[24:32] high blood pressure, diabetes, or even

[24:35] smoking. The point I want to make is

[24:37] there are many treatments available for

[24:39] ED. So, my advice is get a medical

[24:41] checkup. It's the best way to get

[24:43] educated about ED and what can be done

[24:45] to treat it. It may take a little

[24:47] courage, but I've always found that

[24:50] everything worthwhile does.

[25:14] The 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse postponed

[25:17] adulthood starting in under 175. Now

[25:21] available with 0.9% APR financing for 48

[25:24] months.

[25:26] >> 2020 tonight. Is this a holy chosen

[25:28] child? Did his parents starve him?

[25:30] Kidnapping. You can't kidnap your own

[25:32] son, especially when the state has not

[25:34] established legal custody.

[25:35] >> A bizarre story of faith on 2020

[25:38] tonight.

[25:41] >> At the weekend box office, Tarzan swung

[25:44] his way to the number one spot. Austin

[25:47] Powers fell to number two. and number

[25:49] three, the general's daughter. Finally,

[25:52] tonight, an annual Father's Day

[25:54] tradition at the Vietnam Veterans

[25:56] Memorial in Washington, DC. A thousand

[25:59] roses were placed in remembrance of the

[26:01] fathers who died in battle. One woman

[26:03] there tells how the lens of war shapes

[26:06] vivid memories of the man she never

[26:08] knew. Tonight, Lena Mccunkkey's point of

[26:11] view.

[26:13] A year after I was born, my father was

[26:17] sent to um Vietnam where he was

[26:20] stationed in Chulai and flew fixed wing

[26:24] aircraft on reconnaissance missions and

[26:28] was uh in flight with a gentleman on a

[26:31] reconnaissance mission when they were uh

[26:33] shot down. He was over there a brief

[26:35] amount of time, but there was a lot of

[26:38] communication,

[26:39] uh, daily letters, weekly tapes. Um,

[26:44] and it wasn't until,

[26:47] uh, my mother became ill that I actually

[26:50] found the tapes and for the first time

[26:53] hear my dad's voice.

[26:55] >> I'd kind of like to hear Elena's voice

[26:57] again. Uh cuz I'm kind of anxious to get

[27:00] get a tape from home.

[27:02] >> On Father's Day of 1989, we went to the

[27:06] wall for the first time together. My

[27:09] mother and I had been to the cemetery

[27:12] hundreds of times together in Iowa. But

[27:17] the first time at the wall was the first

[27:21] time I felt like we were all together.

[27:24] And it was an indescribable feeling.

[27:27] uh that

[27:30] was a sense of kind of completeness that

[27:32] we were all right there and it was at

[27:35] that point in time I think that I

[27:36] realized that you know I wasn't the only

[27:40] child in America whose father was killed

[27:42] in Vietnam

[27:44] and that was a very good feeling.

[27:46] >> Dad, 10 years ago today, mom and I came

[27:48] to the wall for the very first time.

[27:50] Many trips to the wall on this day have

[27:52] healed my heart. Happy Father's Day. I

[27:55] love you, Lena.

[27:58] >> We're interested in your thoughts on

[28:00] this or any of our other stories. Email

[28:06] That's our report for tonight. Later on

[28:08] 2020 Sunday, a deadly strain of

[28:11] bacteria. What if the world's most

[28:13] powerful antibiotic can't stop it? I'm

[28:16] Carol Simpson. For all of us here at ABC

[28:18] News, have a happy Father's Day, have a

[28:21] good week, and good night.

[28:34] grown in a lab using a patients own

[28:36] cells to create a compatible match.

[28:38] Watch ABC's World News Tonight with

[28:40] Peter Jennings.

[28:42] >> Once you watch, you're hooked.

[28:46] who run scared.
