this mural at san pedro square will be more than 12,000ft!s. nw this is what it's supposed to look like. the work was designed by local san jose artist jimmy paints. it's inspired by a serape blanket and by the diversity of san jose. hundreds of volunteers are scheduled in shifts each day to execute the vision. the idea is that this will bring the community together, both as they're painting it and in the future, as they come back to appreciate it. the hope is that projects like this will add to the vibrancy of downtown. earlier this year, officials in san jose decided to keep the section of san pedro street closed to traffic, and now it's becoming a bit of public art. you can walk on. >> it's like on the floor. it's like unprecedented for this area. and so we have this massive participatory mural where we have 1250 volunteers coming out. that's 250 a day that we're managing to kind of help us with this big paint by number coloring book situation

that we've spent the last week setting up part of history. >> that's happening right here, born and raised in san jose. and so i feel like having a mural that actually welcomed community members and neighbors to be a part of this, it really reflects like a shared ownership, shared shared responsibility and shared stewardship with each other. right >> so new shifts of volunteers will be out here every few hours until the project is complete, and organizers expect that it could be done by friday. claudine >> and it already looks great. like i already love how it looks behind you and how it's coming together, and it's really going to transform the space. i can imagine people watching you right now saying, oh wait, i want to be a part of that. can i come and paint by numbers as they called it, in coloring book that streak, and can they join in the effort? are they still taking volunteers? >> okay, so i didn't specifically ask that. however, i did hear that there is a wait list of like 250 or 300 volunteers. so i have a feeling while you might be able to put your name on the list, they are

flush with volunteers who are eager to participate. so you know your only shot might be if a whole lot of people fell through. but it sounds like there's a lot of people who are coming out. it's different shifts every couple of hours. they should be out here all week doing the good painting job well, waiting list of a couple hundred people. >> maybe that'll inspire even more projects like this so everyone can get involved. all right. and ruben, we can't wait to see how it looks at the end of the day and certainly by the end of the week. thanks so much for that report. >> anxiety, depression, ptsd. >> i knew i had to get help myself. >> nearly two dozen veterans in the u.s. die every day by suicide, but one new york city based dance company is hoping to change that. we'll tell you how that dance company is helping a group of veterans tell their stories of war, while also healing a lot. >> what? i'm trying to be strong, but like, what would i do? break down? >> and a beloved dog walker who recently lost his home in a fire

to escalating theft. what the change could mean and why customers say they are disappointed by it. and nationwide, people are pulling out their grills and swim trunks to enjoy time off for this long holiday weekend. but as families and friends gather, veterans groups say it is important to remember the true meaning of memorial day

area. it is a day to honor the men and women in the us military who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. many military veterans say they do find it disappointing that many americans view today as a day off and do not reflect on the reason for memorial day, specifically focused on those who have lost their lives in defense of this nation, either in combat as a result of wounds suffered in combat instead of happy memorial day, because it's not necessarily a happy occasion, especially for those gold star families that still remember the loved ones they've lost. >> but to just ask people what they may be doing to commemorate the holiday. >> veterans groups also say it's important to not confuse memorial day with other national holidays that honor the us military, including veterans day and armed forces day. well, some

military labs are steadily working to provide closure to american families whose loved ones died in past wars. forensic anthropologists, medical examiners and historians are working together to identify lost soldiers. who remains are buried on battlefields around the globe. >> it's important for them to honor their legacy. it's important that for their families to show them that we'll never stop. no matter what we'll keep. we'll keep looking for them. >> federal labs in nebraska and hawaii aim to offer 200 families per year the chance to honor their relatives with a proper burial. 72,000 world war two soldiers remain unaccounted for, along with 10,000 more from other conflicts. experts believe there remains. about half of those soldiers are recoverable, and more than a dozen veterans in the u.s. die by suicide every year. one new york city based dance company is now hoping to bring that number down, as fox news correspondent madeline rivera reports, veterans and members of the military are finding healing and telling their stories of war through

dance in midtown manhattan. >> the sounds of sirens are drowned out by music. the museum of the aircraft carrier intrepid, inside exit 12, a new york city dance company, is showcasing performers, even though most of them, monique, like monique uruci, have no background in dance. she was a member of the us army. >> in 2004, i deployed to iraq to 2005, so i was part of operation iraqi freedom two when she came back home from her tour, the brooklyn native felt like anything but herself. >> anxiety, depression, ptsd. >> i knew i had to get help myself. >> through her treatments with veterans affairs, she found out about exit 12. dance helps her and other veterans like army member jennifer alvarez

expressed their pain. when words fall short, if i'm feeling heavy or if i'm feeling down or i'm upset or stressed, i always walk out of here as if something has been lifted off my chest. >> exit 12 knows the struggles of service members because their founder is a veteran too. >> ramon baca was deployed to fallujah, iraq with the marines in 2005. he formed exit 12 in 2007, looking for a way to release his anger after returning stateside. what was really healing about that is helping people voice their own stories, voice their struggles, and find hope helped me as well. and there is a need. an average of 17 veterans die by suicide every day in the u.s. baka lost four of his marines who served with him in fallujah to suicide songs like baka uruci and alvarez are bonded by service, but now they have a different mission.

>> it's like moving together as a unit. >> we're doing that here together, in a space that feels safe because we have one another, helping veterans regain their footing, one beat at a time. >> matthew rivera, fox news well, historically, memorial day weekend can be a particularly dangerous time to be on the road. >> this week, the chp instituted what it calls its maximum enforcement period, where more officers are brought in to patrol the roads and keep them safe. last memorial day weekend, the chp made more than 100 dui arrests, 46 people were killed in crashes across the state. >> unfortunately, there's still people out there that do decide to get behind a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. we definitely encourage them to obviously be a sober driver for somebody, if you have been drinking, take advantage of those rideshare services. a taxi, public transportation, or if you have to just walk the maximum enforcement period ends tonight

and a record number of travelers flew in and out of u.s. airports ahead of the memorial day weekend. >> the transportation security administration says nearly 3 million people pass through checkpoints on friday, which is the most screenings in a single day nationwide, beating the previous record that set in last thanksgiving. you're taking a live look at sfo at this hour and you can see the runways there. skies are a little gray this morning. i don't think it's going to have a huge impact coming in, but something to keep an eye out for if you're heading to the airport. travel experts say this is all a sign that we're in for a busy travel season this summer. happening today once again, mount diablo is going to light up after sunset. to mark this memorial day, the mayor of danville is going to hit that switch to turn on the lights of the summit beacon. that will happen at 8:00 tonight. it is an annual ceremony that honors the u.s. service members who died while fighting for our nation. a group of bay area veterans have been

changes have been made at select stores throughout the bay area. given the increasing amount of theft, self checkout kiosks have been removed at a few stores. like other local businesses, we're working on ways to curtail escalating theft so we can ensure the well-being of our employees and foster a welcoming environment for our customers, end quote. shoppers we spoke to were disappointed about the change and what it could mean with, more people coming in with the crowd is a little bit larger . >> it's going to be a problem. but because you have a longer lines in the, checkout, this is a real conundrum. >> you know, for, for these retailers, again, trying to offer the best customer service, the best customer satisfaction, but still trying to make money. >> retail experts like patrick penfield of syracuse university says companies like safeway are balancing the demands of labor costs with customer convenience and theft prevention. without self-checkout, the store and customers will have to make adjustments on what they're going to have to do is hire more people, you know, try to figure out how to make the line shorter. shoppers are unsure about whether that will really

happen, though. >> i understand it's a business. they have to take care of their product, but it's also at the same time, it's an inconvenience. >> the change isn't happening at all. safeway stores in the bay area, just some of them. safeway wouldn't tell us exactly how many or which ones, but the safeway is on grand and college avenues in oakland still have a self-checkout option, but this safeway at 51st and broadway in oakland does not. other safeway owned stores in emeryville and san francisco have also recently had their self-checkout kiosks removed in oakland. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, california lawmaker is introducing a bill that would set minimum staffing levels of one worker for every two self-checkout machines. senator lola smallwood cuevas believes that measure will help reduce theft while saving jobs, and points out that the kiosk caused about 16 times more loss than traditional cashier checkouts, which have an annual loss of $10 billion ferry workers. will alcatraz city cruises are on strike, demanding better pay, benefits and schedules. the workers union and the ferry company have been working on a
