when those west borough picketers left the school. >> there is no anger or hate back. none of that aggressiveness. it is a celebratory and joyful loving group of people here. >> that was the organizer of the rainbow umbrella counter event this morning. why did westborough come to the school? it appears it may have something to do with this sign that they had earlier this year. they had it on campus and it talked about gender fluidity and some parents objected to it. that may have brought social media attention around the
9:06 am
country. again the event is over. school will be in session but start time has been pushed back to 10:30 a.m instead of normal start time of 8:30 a.m. this is so parents and students could avoid this picket and counter demonstration. this is a very small road as well to and from the school so they wanted to avoid traffic issues. parents did not want their children to see this either. but it was very peaceful. no problems. the picketers just left a short time ago. we are about to talk to the oakland a's president to talk about the effort of the ace to stay in oakland. they would like to enter into an exclusive agreement to buy the coliseum complex.

9:10 am
it's very important to see the vision and develop the land around it. >> if this goes through and your offer is accepted, do you privately financed the ballpark or reach out to the city? >> we are looking at only privately financing it. that way we have control.>> do you really think that the bay area can support two major- league baseball teams robustly? full nights at both at&t and that your stadium? >> i think they can. this is a huge community. i don't think that is an issue at all. what we've seen over the year are so many new baseball fans being generated because of those rivalries.

retired marine corps man that conducted hundreds of missions from 2006-2007. the story of that mission and the marines he fought with is told in his book. thank you for joining us here major scott. >> thank you for having me. >> you talk about growing up in high school. you talk about the war movies. but in the end, you say it is about bringing those marines home alive.>> it is absolutely about the people. you can measure your success on the battle field from the number of bad guys you kale but
9:24 am
for me the real metric of success was bringing home as many marines alive as possible. we did that through our training and because of the brotherhood and power of human connection that they shared through some of the worst conditions created by war. every time they performed the superhuman acts on the battlefield, i could not have been more proud of them each and every time. but that brotherhood that we experience in the marine corps goes over to the families that support us. our families are big part of everything we do. they continue to love us so much and care for us so much . it is a very real honor to share their stories along with the fighting, friction, and
9:25 am
chaos. but also the people and the power of human connection. >> do you think those families are getting the support that they need back at home. >> i think they enjoy a great deal of support from the marine corps themselves. they also enjoy a bond with their marines. our goldstar families have suffered a great loss but they continue to love us. they've gained an additional 250 marines as well. >> can you explain that bond for us? >> they are absolutely our family. there's no other way to describe it. we are connected in everything we do. it's not only an important part that we as marines stay connected to our
9:26 am
families, we understand the loss of those goldstar families. there's no way to replace that and it's important for them to understand that we still love them and we are still here for them. if they just pick up the phone, we can help in any way. but usually we are the ones picking up the phone. we call them on mother's day for example. >> this is something we continue to enjoy day in and day out. one of the stories in the book is about a marine that we lost to suicide. we talked about how hard it is to process that, i was just talking to his mom this week. that's one of the most remarkable things, all marines
9:27 am
honor everyone. they don't discriminate. when you lose a kid you lose a kid. >> i want to ask you, major, these families trust you as a leader. you talk about a lot of loss. the loss of a 22-year-old that hit you very hard. explained that when you are a leader. >> you can train your men, marines, soldiers, as much as you think you can. we train for weeks and months on end. then to be thrust into the deadliest city on the planet at the time, and you lose a marine or soldier, there's no way to describe it. there's no training or class that can prepare you for that. there is no academic period of instruction in the school that
9:28 am
teaches you how to write a letter to the mom or dad of a 22-year-old kid that just died under your command. but those stories are important because those are the stories that matter. this book is about the people and the emotion and the feelings. you can read about events and things in the newspaper but when you read this story you really understand that people like corporal libby and for his mom, it's important to tell their story. every time i tell a story and i get an endorsement from a goldstar family with them telling me i got it right, that makes me feel appreciative of being there voice.>> major scott huesing will be speaking
9:29 am
thursday night at the marine memorial and san francisco. major scott huesing said the tickets are free . you can look for information on our website at www.kutv.com . major scott huesing, thank you for your service and thank you for your time . >> thank you for allowing me to be on this morning to tell these military stories. it's a vital message. thank you san francisco. coming up, a shake shack customer demands to know who made his burger in a video that went viral. we are at the marine mammal center where there's a big surge. more on that coming up after the break.
9:32 am
