Jamie yuccas is at the start of todays parade route near as excitement starts to build here, i want to show you what is happening. Some of the balloons have already started to make their way onto that parade route and this is the first time in the parades 90year history that every cross street along its two and a half mile route will be closed to traffic. As well, the nypd will have 3,000 Police Officers on the streets along with bomb sniffing dogs, metal and concrete barricades and radiation detectors. 82 Sanitation Department trucks cars are also being used to seal off the parade to outside vehicles. The hope is those would stop potential attacks like the one in nice, france, where a truckdriver barreled through a celebration and killed more than 80 people in that attack. The more than 8,000 parade volunteers have all been screened as well. We talked to one balloon handler who says it took nearly a year to get through all of the jamie, thank you. In our next half hour, we will get a preview of the cbs thanksgiving parade coverage from hosts Kevin Frazier and Keltie Knight. Most of you will be able to watch the parade immediately after cbs this morning at the top of the hour but on the west coast, coverage begins at 1 00 p. M. Pacific, after football.

More than 204,000 women are serving in the armed forces right now and make up nearly 16 of Service Members. When women retire from the military, they often dont get the same treatment or access to services that men do. But an event featuring hundreds of active and retired military women is trying to change that. Service, the competition for miss veteran america unites them all for a Common Mission. I spoke with this years winner to learn her reasons for taking part. When i was really struggling with ptsd and i just got out of the military, i felt a bit worthless. Reporter after serving six and a half years in the air force, including a tour in afghanistan, molly maypotters transition home didnt come easily. My identity was the military.

Molly may potter is your new miss veteran america reporter now its lending a helping hand as the newly crowned miss veteran america. Its an annual competition created by major jazz boost to showcase the woman beyond the uniform. When people look at me in the uniform, they say major boost.

Reporter and miss veteran america gives you a chance to bring that back . Beauty pageant. . I was born . Reporter with talent. . By the river . Reporter evening gown competitions. In our country right now reporter contestant interviews and even the requisite sparkly head wear but these women have swapped their stilettos for combat boots. 123 reporter the swimsuit contest replaced by a true display of athleticism.

The Fastest GrowingHomeless Population in the u. S. As the winner, potter will spend the next year continuing to advocate for the cause. This is not about me. This is about the 2 million women that have served in uniform since the revolutionary reporter u. S. Navy petty officer first class Ingrid Rosetta was a military mom with no place to go in 2008 after faith gathering the strength to leave an abusive relationship. How much of your past sort of sits with you . All the time. Its difficult. But the cause behind it, like, i know if i continue to be a voice, no matter what, other military women who are going through the same thing that i have somebody there. Reporter you get to be the voice and the face of advocating on behalf of Women Veterans that have really hit the rock bottom. Reporter is it fair to say you had not gotten help, maybe that could have been you . Oh, absolutely. Reporter together, these veterans have found a new mission and a new definition of beauty. What makes a woman beautiful . I feel any woman who is willing to raise her right hand and die for is the most beautiful person and, obviously, every year, its more women. Hundreds actually apply to try to become finalists. They really do amazing work. Its five years that this has been going on. They have raised 315,000 so far for final salute, the charity that helps some of the homeless female veterans and its really the awareness they are raising like in talking with molly may potter she talks to childrens gru groups and veterans groups and making sure the women are more than the uniform out there. Love it. Its great. Amazing to me even are many instances where veterans dont get the respect that they deserve after in some cases, giving the ultimate sacrifice. I told you molly mays story and ingrids story there. Each of those 25 finalists had a story that was as compelling. That is the other part to it. Nice work there. Thank you.

Reporter but the son of far different path after his friend alice invited him to her home, a converted church just soue outside of stockbridge, massachusetts, for thanksgiving dinner. He volunteered to clean up the space before guests arrived. The Construction Material was out here on the main floor and pieces and stuff like that we had to get rid of it and throw it out. In order to make it look nice, we put it in a red vw bus and drove off into the sunset as it dump was closed. With tears in our eyes, we drove off looking for another place to put the garbage. Reporter arlo and his friends were charged with dumping alices trash on private property on. After a thorough investigation by officer obie and a night in jail, they were fined 25 by a blind town judge. If it all sounds like a joke, well, that is just the setup. The next year, when arlo reported to the draft office, he rejected as morally unfit to serve. After all he was a convicted litter bug at the end of the day, the colonel there, whose name i forgot now, says to me, i dont think youre the kind of person we want in the military. And i thought he was kidding me. . Have you ever been arrested . Reporter arlo completed the song alices restaurant the following thanksgiving. An fixture of the year.
