when service members come knocking at your front door with news that your loved one has died. it s called a duty of death notification, and cbs s david martin reports on how this came to be. i can t describe to you really the hell that we were in. reporter: hal moore was a soldier once and young. commander of american troops in the bloody 1965 battle of idrang valley, the first head-to-head clash with north vietnamese soldiers. there was smoke and the dust and the noise, screams of the men hollering for mom or medic. reporter: moore has since passed away but bob edwards was there as commander of c company. c company had started the day with five officers and 106 men. and by 10:00 there were no unwounded officers, there were 42 men killed. reporter: that s 50% casualties. but the line had held.
they have got a dangerous job, that s why you see me fight for hard for them on this network because i was a cop, i was a special agent. as i.c.e. director i did not make a death notification. but i have been to many funerals where i talked to the spouse, the wife, the children of an officer who fell in the line of duty. some of them fell doing what i told them to do. it s something i will never accept. so the men and women of law evenersment, they have a tough law enforcement, they have a tough job. taking their insurance away so now they can get sued in a personal capacity. lose their home, lose their life savings because they might have made a mistake.
