Veterans nonprofit salutes American heroes virtually during COVID-19

Memorial Day weekend 2020 is going to be anything but routine for Americans still under social distancing guidelines because of the coronavirus pandemic.  Around here, Philadelphia officials are telling people not to go to the beach. Barbecues and cook outs are being scaled down at the very least, and instead of having the whole family over most people will be with just their immediate household to mark the holiday.  And for a non-profit called Carry The Load, a group that honors veterans, first responders and their families, their biggest event of the year -- a walk that takes place around Memorial Day -- had to basically be redesigned from square one. Matt Fryman, National Relay Director for Carry The Load joins KYW In Depth to talk about how they are changing and adapting during coronavirus and how they're planning to salute American heroes virtually this year.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
