deceased american. >> nelson wants the numbers to be pulled immediately. the families we featured two weeks ago is thrilled to hear senator nelson is taking up the cause. and weatherwise, we have had nice clearing on this veteran's day but we have had chilly winds so that has changed the scenario in terms of what it feels like. we still have a steady west wind at 10 to 15 and some gusts higher closer to 20 and look to the west for the cold air and feeling like 33 right now. in frederick, 41 and baltimore 40. for the evening not bad but on the cool side, quickly dropping to the 40s and with the wind chill it will feel cooler and much more on your weekend straight ahead. well americans remember veteran's day in many ways.
