Maryland calls National Guard over pandemic

Maryland's National Guard has stepped up to help the state prepare for its own coronavirus wave, which Governor Larry Hogan told CBS News' Catherine Herridge was "about two weeks behind New York." While working closely with Maryland's government, the National Guard has set up cots for a field hospital at a Baltimore convention center and a COVID-19 testing site at the Washington Redskins' FedEx Field. It's also moving pallets of face shields and surgical gloves to areas where medical staff need them most.

A 500-mile walk honors 9/11 first responders

Frank Siller is marking the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks by walking 500 miles from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., to Ground Zero in New York City. Siller's brother Stephen was a firefighter who ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the World Trade Center with 60 pounds of gear strapped to his back. He later died trying to rescue people from the towers. Frank Siller, CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, joins CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss why this walk is about more than remembering his brother.
