[ playing of taps ] again, were watching another solemn ceremony remembering those who have given their lives for this country and those who continue to fight right now for this country. The liberties and privileges we have as americans they protect. Joe biden will speak at the ceremony in the memorial amp theater. The Vice President is standing in for president obama who is attending a global summit in china. The ceremonies at arlington are one of the diretributes nationw. As we wait the Vice President s remarks. Let me bring in msnbc military analyst and med tal of honor recipient for his rehoeic actions during the vietnam war. Helping families of servicemembers. Thank you both for joining us. We appreciate it. Colonel, we have a pleasure of speaking with you. I want to start with linda here. Because of the work that shes doing to help these families. As we remember the veterans. I was on the today show. The plaza filled men and women in uniform and those who have worn the uniforms before. There were just as many proud spouses and children. Your organization is done a lot to support those people. Yes, our military kids proudly supporting the children of our deployed and Wounded Warriors. Sometimes their needs are overlooked and i think its very important for our military men and women who are serving to know that our nation is helping to take care of their children while they protect our families. You said sometimes their needs are overlooked on this day of remembrance and this day of thanks to those individuals. What do you see as the most commonly ignored or i guess something many might take for granted that those servicemembers and their families need. They just need to know that our nation appreciates the service and sacrifice they make while their Family Member in uniform is serving. Whether its deployed overseas or recoverying from injury. Children need to know we recognize they are sacrificing and that we need to help support those families to make their families have as much a normal life as they can. During that stressful time. Our military kids over the past ten years has given out some 20 million in grants to help military children in extracurricular supports and other activities that give them a release from stress. Colonel jack, let me bring you in. Weve seen more than ever before, perhaps certainly not enough. More organizations like our military kids who are trying to find small ways and big ways to help these families. And you think about it, im sure when you were a young soldier, many of these things did not exist. Yeah. And theres a reason for that. Back almost 50 years ago when i first came into the army almost no soldiers were married. I had senior noncommission officers living in the barracks, taking care of soldiers. We did that. But there were few families to take care of. Now we have an older cohort of troops. We have lots and lots of troops who are marry whod have families. We do a much better job than we used to, in my case. It used to be when you got deployed you left as an individual. You went to a unit overseas and fought. You left your family at home. Whether or not they did well was up to them. You had to find a place for them to live and so on. We dont do that anymore. Families remain behind in the military community where they can be cared for. He comes back to his family in the community and there are lots of organizations like lindas doing good work to take care of family and the troops. When he said he comes back you mean men and women. You have an incredible number of single moms, in some cases, who are part of the military. You have grandparents and siblings who care for their children during their deployment. Yeah, its we have extended families as well. And the fact that we have women in fairley substantial numbers in the service now means that we have changed the way in which we deal with people generally. Were much better at it than ever before. In thank you for your service. Linda, thank you for all you do for the families. Were going to continue to watch the developments and certainly bring you the Vice President s remarks. Were expecting them to begin in about 20 minutes from now. Thank you, both. The i want to turn to the deadly arctic blast continuing to affect millions of people. Parts of minnesota, wisconsin, and other upper midwest states are getting another round of snow just in morning. Officials are urging drivers to be cautious of black ice after hundreds of accidents were reported yesterday. In minnesota alone, 400 accidents were reported. One of them fatal. That state along with much of the upper midwest and rookies woke up under a blaj et of snow. More than 500 flights were cancelled. Most of those in minneapolis, saint paul, and chicago airports. Dozen of flights have been cancelled this morning. While the snow and ice is expected to tamper off by tomorrow morning, the arctic temperatures just beginning to settle in in much of the country. Mike seidel joins us in minnesota where people are digging out. Some of the temperatures, as i mentioned, pretty shocking for this time of the year. Reporter they are, tamron. You get to parts of montana and wyoming. We have temperatures below zero. Windchills below zero. Its going to get colder. Were running in the low 20s. I want do you to keep in mind, its only mid november. Typically mid 40s for highs. Mid 20s for low. Were running a solid 20 degrees below average through of the rest of the week and the weekend well see highs that may not get out of the teen and likely drop below zero. Look at the roads. Much improved. They dont mess around. These guys are professional. A lot of salt being thrown down. The snow now ended. We have sunshine and traffic and everything is open. A lot of schools did go in two hours late. Very few cancelled schools today. A lot of schools the minneapolis Public Schools opened up yesterday. Now the cold air is heading south. The front is now south of dallas. This morning we have about a 40 degree temperature difference across the state of illinois. Same kind of deal as you head toward arkansas. If youre in the mild air now, in the 60s, 70s today in those areas it is not going to last very long. Youll see the temperature drop very quickly. One thing that is not going to hit the rest of the country is the snow. Thats really relegated just here to the upper midwest and the great lakes. But theyre wondering how bad is it going to be this winter . I can tell you for the next two weeks in minneapolis saint paul likely not above freezing. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Meteorologist bill karins joins me now. Bill, mike made a great point. Places like chicago, minnesota they know how to clean up snow. Thats one thing. But you cant clean up but you cant clean up cold. Nope. You have to deal with it. They are going to deal with it the next two weeks. Who is next . We keep hearing its spreading. The snow is ending in northern wisconsin. Were done with the fluffy stuff. We mentioned texas. Dallas a windchill of 30. We saw the door open from dan data and all the cold air is driven all the way to the deep south. Now its about going as far south as its going to go. Its spreading to the Pacific Northwest is unusual. All the way to portland. They could get some icy snow and sleet mix. St. Louis your dramatically. Cold front went through chicago. It turned into a cold rain. Its going to get windy and the temperatures will plummet there. Anywhere from chicago to the great lakes today. If i had to pick a spot for the worst weather in the country tomorrow we get upslope flow in denver will have a high of 11 degrees. Thats height temperature. The windchill will be about minus 15 with some very, very light, fine, fluffy snow around the area. So you can see the denver does warm up a little bit. Other areas like chicago no warm up for you. High temperatures in the 30s throughout the next week. Its going to be difficult for the people on the ooets east coast to complain, tamron. Because were only going to drop down to about the low 40s. Im not complaining. I lived in chicago for ten years. You would never dplan. But i lived in chicago for ten years. That will change your blood. It will. 27 inches of snow. Empower chan stay safe. A lot of accidents as a result of the first big storm. Also developing now for the first time in months. The u. S. Is ebola free. Just a short time ago dr.

Dr. Spencer has been hospitalized in bellevue for the last 19 days. He exited the hospital to a round of applause. He thanked the staff that cared for him and said this to the public at large. My Early Detection, reporting and now recovery from ebola speaks to the effectiveness of the protocols in place for health staff returning from west africa. Im a living example of how those protocols work and Early Detection is critical to surviving ebola and ensuring its not transsubmitted to others. It set off panic in some minds in new york after news that he traveled via subway and even wept to a bowling alley. Ann thompson is outside Bellevue Hospital. The doctors spoke about protocols. Some of the protocols that came into question when the headlines, you know, as you well know read regarding his travel before he was admitted to the hospital. And thats what struck me sitting in the atrium and listening to dr. Spencer as well as mayor de blasio who runs new york city, and the Health Workers who helped dr. Spencer recover. Three weeks ago, there was a lot of criticism about dr. Spencer because as you said, he road the subway, he went bowling. He ate at the restaurant, he took an uber tax befoy by reali i had he symptoms. There was all kinds of talk about what he did in guinea to selflessly help others who were suffering from this disease. He went over as a member of Doctors Without Borders and spent five weeks working in an ebola treatment unit there. When he came home and was diagnosed some of the guinea residents who he had treated and survived from ebola called him on his cell phone to ask if there was anything they could do for him. Because he had come down with this disease. Dr. Spencer, many of the people who spoke remarks about his wry sense of humor. It was evident when he said my name is dr. Craig spencer. But the most important thing he said today is he wants the attention to turn back to west africa where the problem exists. Tamron . Ann thompson live for us in new york. Thank you. Fear it is wont be the last ebola case in the u. S. Prompted nationwide strikes among americas register nursed. Many of whom are dmantding tougher ebola precautions in hospitals. Over the next 24 hours thousands of nurses will walk the picket line from the east coast to the west. It is all starting now in california where today some 18,000 r. N. S and Nurse Practitioners are expected to protest. They want full body hazmat suits, more training and better equipment to handle potential ebola cases. Tomorrow nurses in 14 other states will join. Joining us now jane roscoe. The group lobbying for change. Thank you for joining us. Glad to be here. Im sure you heard the doctors remarks at Bellevue Hospital praising the nursing and staff who assisted him and yet again the patient is lucky enough, fortunate enough with the right care to leave a hospital ebola free. The nurses that are planning to picket still have series questions as i laid out in the introduction. We talked with you weeks ago when some of the grievances were made public. You feel nothing has changed. Something has changed. I think if you talk to the nurses at bellevue, they were able to get what they needed. I think in our opinion now and what weve seen in our survey our public facilities in this country are doing a much better job. The private ones were still having to argue about that uniform National Standard that we feel should be mandated for that protective equipment for nurses. Is that something that the cdc would need to push forward . Who essentially the gate keeper, if i can describe it that way of making sure that this happens to protect the nurses . Well, therein lies the problem. We have no gate keeper. We have guidelines that come out of the cdc. Hospitals look to cdc guidelines. Theyve been a bit confusing. Theyre still either or. What were asking for is a national template, if you will. So that uniform standard that gets mandated as far as whose job it is or who is to blame. Theres a lot of blame to go around. We have written a letter to the president asking he sign an executive order that mandates the standard. And or Congress Pass a legislation. Thats not been done. The cdc still has the either or type of guidelines. Which we believe is actually more confusing for hospitals than to have that single set standard. Obviously the concerns in the timing relate to ebola that it is such a deadly disease. If youre exposed to bodily fluids and such highly contagious. But i was wondering for some of the concerns were expressed prior to this ebola scare. With other Infectious Diseases certainly we know ebola it seems as an category itself. But nurses day in and day out, i would imagine, face Infectious Disease that put their lives in danger. Absolutely. And we have tried to say that over and again. Its ebola now. Its been other things before including h 1 n 1 and since. Until you really listen to the people who do the actual work as too whey they feel is the best protection for them, as long as weve got somebody up above in a management position telling us what they think is best for us, youre going to have this concern. Especially in a system we have in this country. Thank you so much for your time. Well continue to cover the protests as they start to be mentioned kicking off in california very soon here. Thank you so much. We have some developing news out of missouri. Jay nixon at 3 00 p. M.
