so today obviously is veterans day. veterans day is a day when we celebrate america's veterans. memorial day is by tradition the much more somber day. that's the day that we are recognize americans who have given their lives for their country. today is a day that we celebrate all veterans who have served in any capacity. president biden today hosted veterans at the white house. he then accompanied them to arlington national cemetery. he laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, which is actually in its centennial year this year. since 1948, the tomb of the unknowns has been guarded night and day by 24-hour military guard, and while the public can witness that from afar, none of us are allowed to get anywhere near it as a sacred site and a literally well guarded one, but this week sort of especially for its centennial, for its 100th year, americas have been -- just regular folks have been allowed to line up and approach the tomb of the unknowns for first time in decades so people have been able to leave flowers or say a prayer there. it's a very unusual thing. it's the fi

commemorates veterans of all wars and unlike memorial day veterans day pays tribute to all american veterans. whether they're living or dead. now, take a look at your screen because of the festivities for muni routes will change direction before reaching the end of the line and others will reroute the temporary service change starts at 9 this morning at 09:30am, for the f market and wards route. so if you're planning on you need today near the embarcadero plan ahead service will return to normal after the streets are clear. now the parade kicks off at 11 this morning. it starts at the intersection of embarcadero and north lloyd and and at aquatic park near jefferson jefferson. street. so like i said, it's going to get loud here in the at the embarcadero today. there's a lot to look forward to when it comes to this parade. and of course, the city is celebrating a veteran's day today. but just remember, veterans day is on november 11th. see if you see a veteran, make sure that you show appreciation and thank them for their service. sarah, back to you. thanks, camila. definitely good reminder.

so mission roll call is an organization dedicated to one thing, unifying the voice of american veterans across the united states. traditional veteran service organizations require veterans sometimes go through layers of bureaucracy at the local, state and national level. we want to speak directly to the veterans. every veteran has an individual unique story. we want to listen the stories, help understand veteran issues nationally better. so we can take the stories to national policymakers to affect positive national change for veterans in the united states. jackie: i'm sorry to interrupt you. i want to get to this. this is a sad stat. i want you to sort of walk me through what is being done about this specifically. according to the department of veterans affairs there were over 95,000 veteran suicide deaths between 2005 and 2019. i don't think people realize the magnitude or scale of that number. with the number of veteran suicides exceeding 6,000 per year during this time. how are you guys working to bring that number down? >> well it is a great question. first and foremost our number
