[0:13] only at Standard TV and Appliance. The

[0:17] Northwest only all local newscast after

[0:19] World News Tonight.

[0:22] >> Welcome to World News Tonight. A nation

[0:25] on the brink. An eruption of violence

[0:27] leaves more than 400 Iraqis dead or

[0:30] wounded, triggering revenge and an

[0:32] extraordinary clampdown. What does it

[0:34] mean for the US in Iraq? Spy mystery. A

[0:38] poisoned former Russian spy dies

[0:41] tonight. New theories about who poisoned

[0:43] him and why. Midnight madness. The Super

[0:47] Bowl of shopping beginning earlier than

[0:49] ever. This year they say if you snooze,

[0:51] you'll lose. And on this Thanksgiving,

[0:55] shared sacrifice. The father and son who

[0:57] went to war together. Today, an

[1:00] unforgettable holiday.

[1:04] >> From ABC News headquarters, this is

[1:08] World News with Charles Gibson.

[1:10] Reporting tonight, Elizabeth Vargas.

[1:13] >> Good evening. On this day, when so many

[1:15] Americans paused to give thanks, it has

[1:18] been a day of almost unprecedented

[1:20] carnage in Iraq. At least 160 Iraqis are

[1:24] dead, another 250 hurt in what may be

[1:26] the deadliest wave of sectarian violence

[1:29] in one day since the start of the war.

[1:32] It was a series of attacks. The targets

[1:34] were Shiite Muslims in the Baghdad

[1:37] neighborhood of Solder City. The

[1:39] retaliation began almost immediately and

[1:41] tonight Baghdad is locked down. The

[1:44] airport is shut and an indefinite curfew

[1:47] is now in effect. Kurdish, Sunni, and

[1:50] Shiite leaders have made a rare

[1:52] televised appeal for calm, but an entire

[1:55] nation is fearful about what tomorrow

[1:57] might bring. We begin with ABC's Hillary

[2:00] Brown in Baghdad.

[2:02] The attacks were massive,

[2:04] well-coordinated, and deadly. It started

[2:08] at 10 minutes past 3 on a busy

[2:10] afternoon. Three cars, each packed with

[2:13] a thousand pounds of explosives, blew up

[2:16] at 15minute intervals. It was enough to

[2:19] destroy whole streets.

[2:23] Two of the bombs hit open, crowded

[2:26] markets as black smoke billowed over the

[2:28] teeming Shiite suburb of Saturn City.

[2:31] The dead and wounded were loaded onto

[2:33] carts or bundled into pickup trucks and

[2:36] driven away.

[2:38] The living were in shock or shaking with

[2:41] rage.

[2:44] >> Why, he asks. Why did this happen?

[2:47] >> Why? The attacks were almost certainly

[2:50] carried out by Sunni Muslim extremists

[2:52] against this Shia Muslim stronghold to

[2:55] provoke even more violence.

[2:58] >> If you can get sufficient violence, you

[3:01] will have an open civil war. And if you

[3:05] have open civil war, the United States

[3:08] and its allies will probably be forced

[3:10] to leave.

[3:11] >> Hey, how are you?

[3:12] >> Against this background of murder and

[3:14] mayhem, the scene at the US base at Camp

[3:17] Liberty today seemed almost surreal as

[3:19] thousands of troops tucked into

[3:21] Thanksgiving dinner with all the

[3:23] trimmings. Most of these soldiers are on

[3:25] their second or third tour of duty here.

[3:28] They face a security situation that is

[3:30] deteriorating by the day. The new

[3:33] commanding officer here says the US

[3:36] military here is now fighting a war on

[3:38] three fronts. The Sunnile insurgency,

[3:40] the al-Qaeda foreign fighters, and the

[3:43] sectarian militias. So these servicemen

[3:46] are facing a huge challenge.

[3:48] Soldiers told us they're often caught in

[3:50] an impossible bind between rival Shia

[3:53] and Sunni factions.

[3:55] >> If you're helping the Shia, then the

[3:56] Sunni think you're you're in bed with

[3:57] them. And if you're helping the Sunni,

[3:59] then the Shia think you're out to kill

[4:01] Shia. So, you know, it's kind of a

[4:03] fragile situation.

[4:05] >> That is an understatement. Within

[4:07] minutes of the Sadder City attacks,

[4:09] Shiite militia men fired 10 mortar

[4:11] rounds at the holiest Sunni shrine in

[4:13] Baghdad, killing one person. Tonight,

[4:16] the government ordered the indefinite

[4:18] curfew out of real fear that this

[4:21] terrible cycle of violence may finally

[4:24] spin out of control. Hillary Brown, ABC

[4:27] News, Baghdad. And we go now to ABC's

[4:30] national security correspondent,

[4:32] Jonathan Carl, who joins us from

[4:33] Washington. Jonathan, as we said, this

[4:35] looks like this could be the worst

[4:36] single day of sectarian violence since

[4:38] the war began. Could this possibly be

[4:40] some sort of tipping point?

[4:42] >> Well, it could be a tipping point, uh,

[4:44] Elizabeth, and that's why you've seen

[4:46] that curfew imposed. That's why you've

[4:47] had top officials at the US embassy meet

[4:50] with Shia leaders trying to prevent the

[4:52] kind of revenge attacks that could push

[4:54] Iraq into a full-scale civil war. We

[4:57] just heard one of those American

[4:58] servicemen expressing frustration at his

[5:00] and his colleagues inability to stop the

[5:02] violence. What in effect can be done? We

[5:05] have the president meeting next week

[5:06] with the Iraqi prime minister. What can

[5:08] be done to stop this cycle?

[5:11] >> Well, there has been a belief among

[5:12] military commanders that this war is

[5:14] simply not winnable militarily. The US

[5:17] military knows how to fight other

[5:18] armies. The US military knows how to

[5:20] fight insurgencies, but is simply

[5:22] illequipped to get in the middle of a

[5:24] civil war. That's why the belief is the

[5:26] only way this can be done is through

[5:27] political reconciliation. That's why not

[5:30] only the president's trip, you have Vice

[5:31] President Cheney going to Saudi Arabia

[5:33] tomorrow. The president following that

[5:35] with the trip to Jordan. They're meeting

[5:37] with the Sunni neighbors of Iraq trying

[5:39] to get them involved to force the kind

[5:40] of political reconciliation that really

[5:42] is the only way out.

[5:43] >> All right, Jonathan Call from

[5:45] Washington. Thank you. This has also

[5:46] been an extraordinary day in Lebanon. In

[5:49] Beirut, 800,000 mourners turned a

[5:51] funeral for an assassinated cabinet

[5:53] minister into a huge protest against

[5:56] Syria and its surrogates in Lebanon.

[5:58] Pierre Jamal was shot dead on Tuesday.

[6:01] He was the sixth anti-Syrian political

[6:03] leader killed in two years. Mourners

[6:06] today blamed Syria, cursing Syria's

[6:08] president and denouncing Hezbollah's

[6:11] leader. National leaders called for

[6:13] unity, but tonight there are fears that

[6:15] the crisis paralyzing Lebanon's fragile

[6:17] democracy is deepening. There is

[6:20] breaking news meanwhile from London this

[6:22] evening. The former Russian spy

[6:25] mysteriously poisoned three weeks ago

[6:27] has died. This as new details surfaced

[6:30] about the poisoning and who might have

[6:32] wanted him dead. ABC's senior foreign

[6:34] correspondent Jim Shudo is in London.

[6:38] After six days in a London hospital,

[6:41] Alexander Litfenenko died without his

[6:43] doctors knowing what poisoned him.

[6:46] >> Every avenue was explored to establish

[6:48] the cause of his condition, and the

[6:50] matter is now an ongoing investigation

[6:53] being dealt with by detectives from New

[6:54] Scotland Yard.

[6:56] >> Today, doctors ruled out their initial

[6:58] theory. Thalium, a colorless, odorless

[7:01] poison. Some experts now say his

[7:04] symptoms, hair loss and bone marrow

[7:06] failure may point to a mixture of

[7:08] toxins.

[7:10] But his friends have no doubt as to the

[7:12] culprit. They blame Russian agents out

[7:15] to silence Lit Vigna's vocal criticism

[7:18] of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

[7:20] Litanka's friends now believe the

[7:22] poisoning may have happened at this

[7:24] London hotel in the bar where Litman

[7:26] Yenko had a meeting earlier this month

[7:28] with two other Russian men. One of them,

[7:30] like himself, a former KGB agent.

[7:35] That same day, an Italian friend met him

[7:37] at this London sushi restaurant to warn

[7:40] him they were both on a hit list,

[7:42] possibly of the Russian security

[7:44] service. With the story now headlining

[7:46] Russian newspapers, Russia's foreign

[7:49] policy poisoned read this one. The

[7:51] Kremlin has repeated its emphatic

[7:53] denials of any involvement. This is, of

[7:56] course, extremely sensitive ground.

[7:59] Vignyanka has accused the Russian

[8:00] authorities of assassinating some of its

[8:02] toughest critics, including Russian

[8:05] journalist Anna Pulikovskaya last month.

[8:08] >> There were probably people who he

[8:10] implicated. So those people fearing uh

[8:13] fearing u that they would be revealed

[8:15] might might want um to get rid of him.

[8:19] >> There would be enormous consequences if

[8:21] that were ever proven. The doctors say

[8:24] they may never know who or what really

[8:27] killed Alexander Litman.

[8:30] Jim Shudo, ABC News, London.

[8:33] >> Tonight, Scotland Yard authorities say

[8:35] the investigation into the former

[8:36] Russian spies death will continue. Here

[8:39] in this country, of course, Americans

[8:41] celebrated Thanksgiving, the nation's

[8:43] oldest holiday. It has been a day of

[8:45] food, football games, and some suspense.

[8:48] With all the bad weather in the

[8:49] Northeast, would the big balloons fly?

[8:52] Here's ABC's Dan Harris.

[8:54] >> Happy.

[8:55] >> Happy Thanksgiving.

[8:57] >> It's a little, you know, cold and rainy

[8:59] out here. Does that bother you at all?

[9:01] >> No.

[9:02] >> No.

[9:03] >> In the Northeast, parades persevered

[9:06] despite miserable weather.

[9:09] In Philadelphia, however, deflation.

[9:11] They grounded the balloons for much of

[9:13] the route because of high winds. Here in

[9:16] New York City, it was also windy and

[9:17] rainy, but emergency officials made a

[9:19] last minute game time decision to let

[9:22] the balloons fly.

[9:25] They are extra cautious after an

[9:27] incident in 1997 when a Cat in the Hat

[9:30] balloon smashed into a street light,

[9:32] sending down debris that seriously

[9:34] injured a woman.

[9:36] Today, the balloons were on a very short

[9:38] leash. Snoopy's snout was nearly

[9:40] scraping the pavement. How disappointing

[9:43] would it have been if they said no

[9:44] balloons, no clothes?

[9:45] >> Very disappointing.

[9:47] >> There's no parade without the balloons.

[9:49] >> No.

[9:50] >> Another potential parade peril today. A

[9:53] worldwide shortage of helium caused by

[9:55] problems at plants in Algeria andQatar.

[9:58] Macy's, the second largest consumer of

[10:00] helium behind NASA, got its order in

[10:03] early, but parade organizers in Chicago

[10:06] couldn't arrange their helium shipment

[10:08] until the 11th hour.

[10:11] Thanksgiving.

[10:12] >> The other traditions of the day

[10:13] persisted. Turkey trots in Cincinnati

[10:16] and Houston. Meals for the homeless in

[10:18] Los Angeles and St. Louis.

[10:20] >> It's a Thanksgiving and we are thankful.

[10:23] >> This is the time that we can take time

[10:26] to think of other people.

[10:28] >> Some turkeys notably survived this day,

[10:31] including Popeye.

[10:33] >> He's just like a little dog with wings.

[10:36] The Gersh family in Ohio adopted Popeye,

[10:38] who was born with a broken beak and

[10:40] damaged eye. They are having turkey for

[10:43] dinner tonight, but since they just

[10:44] spent $1500 to patch up Popeye, he will

[10:48] not be on the table. Dan Harris, ABC

[10:51] News, New York.

[10:52] >> Popeye wins a reprieve. When we return,

[10:55] 63 million Americans looking for a

[10:57] bargain starting tonight. The holiday

[11:00] shopping madness beginning earlier than

[11:02] ever. We'll take a closer look. What the

[11:05] cosminaut did with a sixiron. Tiger

[11:07] Woods eat your heart out. But not

[11:09] everyone is amused.

[11:12] And a father and son serving together.

[11:14] They're an inspiration. And what a way

[11:17] to spend Thanksgiving.

[11:21] >> This is World News with Charles Gibson

[11:24] brought to you by Reekquip.

[11:30] I feel these tingling sensations deep

[11:33] inside my legs.

[11:35] >> It's a tightening feeling that keeps me

[11:37] from getting to sleep.

[11:38] >> For me, it's creepy crawly. I feel like

[11:41] I have to get up and move just to get

[11:43] some relief.

[11:44] >> My doctor said it's restless leg

[11:46] syndrome or RLS. He prescribed Recquip,

[11:49] the first RLS medication approved by the

[11:51] FDA. He said Reququip would help relieve

[11:54] those RLS symptoms that won't let me

[11:57] fall asleep.

[11:59] Reququip helped me make peace with my

[12:01] legs. Recquip may cause you to fall

[12:03] asleep or feel very sleepy during normal

[12:05] activities such as driving or to faint

[12:07] or feel dizzy when you stand up. Tell

[12:10] your doctor if you experience these

[12:11] problems or if you drink alcohol or are

[12:13] taking medicines that make you drowsy.

[12:15] Side effects include nausea, drowsiness,

[12:18] vomiting, and dizziness. Most patients

[12:20] were not bothered enough to stop taking

[12:21] Recquip.

[12:24] Ask your doctor if Reququip can help put

[12:26] your RLS to rest.

[12:31] >> Mom, these are awesome. You used to fit

[12:33] into these.

[12:40] >> Total 100 calories to help you lose

[12:43] weight.

[12:44] >> 100% whole grain to help keep your

[12:46] shape.

[12:48] >> Hey sweetie, I want those back. Oh,

[12:52] baby.

[12:53] >> Totally manage your way.

[12:55] >> Try more great flavors from Total.

[12:57] They're totally delicious.

[13:00] >> Harry is a scratcher who keeps getting

[13:03] scratched. He needs maximum strength

[13:05] scalpisonin, not a shampoo. It's clear

[13:07] formula stops scratching with the itch

[13:09] medicine dermatologists recommend.

[13:11] Maximum strength scalpisonin. The clear

[13:13] solution to a healthier scalp. If you

[13:16] have a cold and high blood pressure, you

[13:18] should know that decongestants in these

[13:19] cold medicines can raise your blood

[13:21] pressure. So why take them? Take

[13:24] decongestant-free coredin HBP. Powerful

[13:27] cold relief that won't raise your blood

[13:29] pressure.

[13:31] I was just getting to the good part when

[13:33] Uncle Ernie dropped his tongs.

[13:36] I'd seen that look before. It was

[13:38] heartburn. Before you could say duck

[13:41] sauce, I was there with my Pepsi

[13:42] Complete. I told him only Pepsin

[13:44] Complete starts to neutralize acid on

[13:46] contact and keeps heartburn from coming

[13:49] back all day or all night. In no time,

[13:51] Uncle Ernie was in Mushu heaven. And I

[13:54] had my eye on the spicy dumpling. Pepsi

[13:57] complete. Just one and heartburn's done.

[14:01] We're going to take a closer look

[14:02] tonight at the holiday activity that

[14:04] consumes even more of Americans time

[14:06] than eating. Of course, that's shopping.

[14:09] Holiday season shopping accounts for

[14:11] about 20% of all retail sales during the

[14:13] year. Traditionally, the season starts

[14:16] the day after Thanksgiving, Black

[14:18] Friday, when retailers start to get into

[14:20] the black for the year. But it's not

[14:22] just the retailers who are bracing for

[14:24] big business. Shoppers are gearing up

[14:26] earlier than ever. Here's ABC's Betsy

[14:29] Stark.

[14:31] An estimated 63 million shoppers will

[14:33] hit the stores this Black Friday, but

[14:35] most will be no match for this suburban

[14:38] mom.

[14:38] >> Black Friday is huge to me and my

[14:41] sister.

[14:41] >> Terresa Buridge has been scoping out

[14:43] bargains for weeks, researching websites

[14:46] such as Got a Deal and BF Ads.

[14:48] >> One of the main things I'm after is a

[14:50] cell phone from Target. They have a

[14:52] Virgin Mobile phone on sale for $39.

[14:54] >> And she's made scouting trips to the

[14:56] stores themselves. If you think you're

[14:59] going to get up out of bed and show up

[15:01] on Black Friday and not be prepared,

[15:05] you're not going to get anything. The

[15:08] competition to create the biggest buzz

[15:10] started earlier than ever this year.

[15:12] Walmart fired first, announcing price

[15:14] cuts on a 100 toys 2 weeks before

[15:17] Halloween,

[15:17] >> and the price cuts were about 25%

[15:20] steeper. So, they've already thrown down

[15:22] the gauntlet for the holiday season. The

[15:25] bait is bigger than ever, too. Best Buy

[15:28] is advertising 42 in HD TVs for $1,000,

[15:32] a $500 savings. Kohl's is opening early

[15:35] with deals on diamonds. And it's no

[15:38] longer enough to open your doors at 5 or

[15:40] 6 a.m. This year, lots of retailers,

[15:43] including this outlet mall at Woodberry

[15:44] Common in New York, are opening their

[15:46] doors to shoppers at midnight. An armada

[15:49] of charter buses will ferry customers

[15:52] there beginning at 10:45 Thanksgiving

[15:54] night. As for Teresa and her sister,

[15:57] they plan to divide and conquer. The

[15:59] best deals go fast.

[16:01] >> She's going to head to Walmart. They

[16:03] open at 5:00 a.m. and I will be in line

[16:05] at Toys R Us at 5:00 a.m.

[16:07] >> By 10:00 a.m. they expect to have scored

[16:09] at Radio Shack, Circuit City, Kmart, and

[16:12] the mall.

[16:13] >> I mean, this is serious shopping. This

[16:14] is black belt shopping. This is not for

[16:16] the uh the meek shopper.

[16:18] >> Read the t-shirt and believe Black

[16:21] Friday 2006. You snooze, you lose. Betsy

[16:26] Stark, ABC News, Central Valley, New

[16:28] York.

[16:29] >> And if you'd like to get some help to

[16:31] keep from losing on Black Friday, you

[16:33] might want to check our website out

[16:34] before hitting the stores. We've

[16:36] gathered some tips from shopping experts

[16:38] for you. That's of course at

[16:39] abcnews.com.

[16:41] When we return, golfers take note.

[16:43] Imagine hitting a drive on Wednesday and

[16:46] it's still airborne today. We'll

[16:48] explain.

[16:54] >> I want to treat my osteoporos. I keep my

[16:56] bones healthy.

[16:57] >> I want to protect myself against

[16:58] fractures, especially at the hip. I can

[17:01] help.

[17:01] >> Fossome Plates postmenopausal

[17:03] osteoporosis.

[17:05] >> My doctor prescribed Fossome X PlusD and

[17:07] she said not all treatments are the

[17:09] same. Only Fossamax Plus D is approved

[17:11] to help prevent fractures of both the

[17:13] hip and spine in women with

[17:14] osteoporosis. Bonva is not. Protecting

[17:17] my hip is important to me. You should

[17:19] not use Fosamax Plus D if you have

[17:21] certain disorders of the esophagus, are

[17:23] not able to stand or sit upright for 30

[17:24] minutes, have severe kidney disease, or

[17:26] low blood calcium. Before use, talk to

[17:28] your doctor if you have stomach or

[17:30] digestive problems, and about any

[17:31] medications you're taking, including

[17:33] vitamins and supplements. It's not for

[17:34] vitamin D deficiency. Stop taking

[17:36] Phosmax Plus D and call your doctor

[17:38] right away if you develop new or

[17:40] worsening heartburn, difficult or

[17:41] painful swallowing or chest pain because

[17:43] these may be signs of serious upper

[17:44] digestive problems.

[17:46] >> I listened. I heard. Fossamax Plus D.

[17:50] The only one that protects both your hip

[17:52] and spine.

[17:54] >> When mucus causes chest congestion and

[17:56] coughing, it can be a late night.

[17:58] >> Here's mucus. We'll be up ALL NIGHT. AND

[18:04] NOW, a word from Mucin XDM. MUCIN XDM.

[18:08] >> Mucin XDM breaks up mucus and quiets

[18:11] coughing.

[18:12] >> Uh-oh,

[18:14] we're off the air.

[18:16] >> And Mucin XDM lasts for 12 hours.

[18:20] >> They need a new gig.

[18:21] >> Mucinx in mucus out. I've studied the

[18:24] human heart for a lifetime.

[18:27] And there's something you should know.

[18:29] Inventor of the Jarvik artificial heart,

[18:31] Dr. Robert Jarvik. High cholesterol can

[18:34] lead to heart disease. When diet and

[18:36] exercise aren't enough, adding Lipur

[18:39] lowers bad cholesterol 39 to 60%.

[18:44] And Lipur is clinically proven to reduce

[18:46] your risk of heart attack and your risk

[18:49] of stroke if you have several common

[18:51] risk factors for heart disease. The more

[18:53] we learn about Lipur, the more impressed

[18:55] I am. Lipur is not for everyone,

[18:57] including people with liver problems and

[18:59] women who are nursing, pregnant, or may

[19:01] become pregnant. You need simple blood

[19:03] tests to check for liver problems. Tell

[19:05] your doctor if you're taking other

[19:07] medications or if you have any muscle

[19:09] pain or weakness. They may be a sign of

[19:11] a rare but serious side effect. Lipur is

[19:14] one of many treatment options to

[19:15] consider with your doctor. Could you be

[19:17] doing more with Lipur? Ask your doctor.

[19:24] >> You are what you eat. Or so they say.

[19:26] Organic foods are now all the rage, but

[19:29] are they worth the extra cost? Do you

[19:30] know how some organic foods are

[19:32] produced? The truth about organics. What

[19:34] you don't see at the store. The special

[19:36] series breaks Monday on World News with

[19:38] Charles Gibson.

[19:40] >> We turn now to an advertising campaign

[19:42] that has touched a raw nerve. Yesterday,

[19:45] a Russian cosminaut crawled out of the

[19:47] International Space Station and hit a

[19:49] golf ball farther than any human being

[19:52] ever has before. Somewhere around a

[19:54] million miles. Nice shot. But not

[19:57] everyone is applauding the stunt. Here's

[19:59] ABC's Ned Potter.

[20:02] >> In 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard was

[20:04] walking on the moon when he pulled out a

[20:06] golf club.

[20:08] >> There we go.

[20:09] >> Some people thought it was funny. Others

[20:11] thought he took the triumph of space and

[20:13] made it trivial. But that was then. Now,

[20:16] no matter how bad a golfer male Churan

[20:19] may be, he has now set a world record or

[20:21] maybe a universe record.

[20:23] >> All right, there it goes. And it went

[20:25] pretty far. You have to watch very

[20:28] carefully there as the ball heads to the

[20:30] lower right.

[20:32] But the Canadian golf maker that paid

[20:34] for the stunt and made this animation

[20:37] says the ball will go millions of miles

[20:41] before it burns up in the Earth's

[20:43] atmosphere. Take that, Tiger Woods.

[20:46] >> It was an excellent shot.

[20:48] >> A sixiron though on the International

[20:50] Space Station almost became an

[20:52] international incident. This isn't a

[20:54] type of an experiment that would

[20:55] typically be designed and conducted uh

[20:58] uh for for the US program.

[21:00] >> That's a diplomatic way of saying that

[21:02] NASA, which runs most of the space

[21:04] station, was not amused. It had a couple

[21:06] of dozen engineers at taxpayers expense

[21:09] making sure the ball couldn't careen off

[21:11] somewhere and break something.

[21:13] >> I'm glad to do it as long as it's a safe

[21:14] thing to execute.

[21:16] >> Can you turn your body in your space

[21:18] suit? To top things off, it turns out

[21:20] that cosminaut Juran had never even

[21:22] played golf.

[21:24] >> Have you had any experience at golf at

[21:26] all?

[21:27] >> I can say for sure no experience at all.

[21:30] >> He practiced on Earth. He trained

[21:33] underwater. He took a few swings inside

[21:35] the space station cabin. And nobody will

[21:38] ever know just where in the rough his

[21:41] shot landed. Ned Potter, ABC News, New

[21:44] York.

[21:45] >> Indeed not. We have two deaths to report

[21:48] tonight. Anita OD was one of the top

[21:50] jazz singers of the 1940s and 50s. OD

[21:53] was known for such standards as

[21:55] Honeysuckle Rose and Sweet Georgia

[21:57] Brown.

[22:07] >> Anita OD was 87 years old. And Ernest

[22:10] Pusy has died. He was one of the last

[22:12] American veterans of World War I.

[22:14] Earlier this month, when Mr. [ __ ]

[22:16] received a medal from Florida Governor

[22:18] Jeb Bush, he talked about his time on

[22:20] the battleship Wyoming. He was one of 5

[22:23] million Americans who served in World

[22:25] War I. The government says fewer than 25

[22:28] are still living. Ernest Pusy was 111

[22:32] years old. And when we come back on this

[22:35] Thanksgiving, the remarkable story of a

[22:37] father and son serving side by side in

[22:39] Iraq and a family waiting for them to

[22:42] come home.

[22:46] I'm Denine Verikio and this is my story.

[22:48] Around this time, the holiday, I helped

[22:51] to hand out food. The families feel very

[22:53] good when they open up their doors. I

[22:55] have arthritis in my fingers, in my

[22:58] elbows, in my knees. It just took my

[23:01] life away. I stopped doing a lot of

[23:03] things, especially volunteering. I take

[23:06] leave in the morning. It does work. I'm

[23:08] off and running. If I didn't have a

[23:10] leave, I wouldn't be able to accomplish

[23:12] the things that I do. It feeds your soul

[23:14] to do something good for others.

[23:16] >> Cholesterol. It can come from fetuccini

[23:19] alfredo, but also from your grandpa

[23:21] Alfredo, from barbecue ribs, and from

[23:25] your grandma Barbie. A healthy diet is

[23:28] important. When that's not enough,

[23:29] adding Vtorin can help. Cholesterol

[23:32] comes from two sources: food and family.

[23:34] Vtorin treats two sources. Only Vtorin

[23:38] helps block the absorption of

[23:39] cholesterol from food and reduces the

[23:41] cholesterol your body makes naturally

[23:43] based on family history. Byin was also

[23:45] proven in clinical studies to lower bad

[23:47] cholesterol more than Lipur alone.

[23:49] Btorin is not for everyone including

[23:51] people with liver problems, women who

[23:53] are nursing, pregnant, or may become

[23:54] pregnant. Unexplained muscle pain or

[23:56] weakness could be a sign of a rare but

[23:58] serious side effect. Byin may interact

[24:00] with other medicines or certain foods,

[24:02] increasing your risk of getting this

[24:03] serious side effect. Simple blood tests

[24:05] are needed to check for liver problems.

[24:07] So eat right, stay active, but if that's

[24:09] not enough, ask your doctor about adding

[24:11] Vtorin, two sources of cholesterol.

[24:13] Treat them both with Vtorin.

[24:20] >> Mod cows are out.

[24:24] >> I found them.

[24:30] >> Things are easier to find when they're

[24:31] stuck together. Gladwear interlocking

[24:34] lids lock together so you always know

[24:36] where they are. For lids that are easy

[24:38] to find, get Gladwear interlocking lids.

[24:41] And for more food storage needs, get

[24:43] Glad food bags.

[24:47] When you've got a burning, scratchy,

[24:49] sore throat.

[24:52] Nothing feels good,

[24:55] but a few blasts can change everything.

[24:58] Introducing Vix 44. Sore throat.

[25:02] Fast sore throat pain relief with

[25:04] cooling Vix vapors.

[25:09] New Vix 44 sore throat. Tell your throat

[25:12] to just chill. And for cough relief, try

[25:14] Vix 44 Cough.

[25:17] I'm Steve Dunn. Next to the Northwest

[25:19] only all local newscast, a heavy snow

[25:21] warning for the Cascades. How that has

[25:22] already affected road conditions for

[25:24] holiday travelers. And the meal is over.

[25:26] Let the shopping begin. and three ideas

[25:28] to maximize your time and money at the

[25:30] store.

[25:33] After you travel the globe making

[25:34] history, unveiling the seven new wonders

[25:37] of the world, what do you ever do for an

[25:38] encore? How about revealing the allnew

[25:41] eighth wonder? Americans voted on what

[25:43] the eighth new wonder should be. And

[25:44] tomorrow, it's unveiled live only on

[25:46] Good Morning America.

[25:49] >> Finally, on this Thanksgiving night, a

[25:50] father and son celebration very far from

[25:53] home. Both men are in the military. Both

[25:56] are helicopter pilots and both are

[25:58] serving in the same brigade this holiday

[26:01] in Iraq.

[26:03] >> Father and son Thomas and Michael

[26:05] Shackley went to war side by side in

[26:07] September.

[26:08] >> They're going to be fine. We're going to

[26:09] be fine. I know.

[26:10] >> Along with 18,000 others in the first

[26:13] cavalry. The Shackley's were at work

[26:15] today. 24y old Michael flew a mission on

[26:18] his Blackhawk early this morning.

[26:20] 46-year-old Thomas looked on. I can

[26:23] watch with uh lots of pride as he

[26:26] matures as a young winged warrior.

[26:29] >> The Shackley say they're lucky to be

[26:31] serving together.

[26:32] >> Probably a 100 yards away. It's about a

[26:35] 3minute bike ride.

[26:36] >> It's nice to know, you know, to have a a

[26:39] blood family member here and, you know,

[26:40] to sit down with my dad on on

[26:42] Thanksgiving and and uh have a

[26:44] non-alcoholic beer and some turkey.

[26:46] >> I would not trade this for anything. I

[26:48] would want to be right where I'm at.

[26:50] We're with Michael. you know where we're

[26:52] at.

[26:53] >> I can't say it's just another day

[26:54] because not it's it's a special day and

[26:56] you know we remember that all day today

[26:58] and I miss my family terribly.

[27:00] >> Michael's wife April back home at Fort

[27:03] Hood, Texas misses him too. But with two

[27:06] little girls to look after by herself,

[27:08] Thanksgiving is really just another day.

[27:10] >> Thanksgiving I mean I my kids want to

[27:12] eat macaroni and cheese, you know, and

[27:14] and chicken nuggets. So it's not a big

[27:17] deal if to them if we don't do it. We

[27:20] did it before they left. I mean, just as

[27:22] an anticipation of them being gone, you

[27:24] know, we did it. We did it all out. We

[27:26] did it. You know, the thanks, the this

[27:28] is for you guys. We're going to miss

[27:29] you. We love you. And

[27:31] >> I just I don't really feel like I need

[27:33] to do it right now.

[27:34] >> Most holidays spent alone with the kids

[27:36] are just another day.

[27:38] >> No New Year's, no Valentine's Day, no

[27:41] our birthdays.

[27:42] >> Michael is not due for home leave for

[27:44] months.

[27:45] >> Michael's RNR is not till June. Father

[27:48] and son did get to share a turkey dinner

[27:50] at the messaul tonight, but the

[27:51] highlight of their day was a phone call

[27:53] home.

[27:54] >> I love you

[27:57] and uh I will talk to you later.

[28:01] All right. Love you. Here's Grandpa.

[28:04] >> Hi, Lily.

[28:06] It's Grandpa.

[28:08] >> Happy Thanksgiving.

[28:10] >> When I do get to talk to him, I mean,

[28:12] that Yeah, that makes my day. That's

[28:14] That's Christmas. That's in a package.

[28:16] That's a present.

[28:17] >> A present which transformed the

[28:19] Shackley's Thanksgiving into a day to

[28:22] give thanks.

[28:24] >> Daddy.

[28:26] >> Daddy.

[28:27] >> Just one family story this Thanksgiving.

[28:29] And that's World News for tonight. I

[29:45] >> K2's Derek joins us live at Kmart in

[29:47] Northeast Portland with ways to save

[29:49] time and money. And Derek, some stores

[29:51] are trying to lure people in early this

[29:52] year, aren't they?

[29:55] couple of stores open for Thanksgiving
