This Morning from CBS News, Nov. 11, 2014
Rare common ground
The U.S.-China relationship is, by all objective measures, the most important economic and military dynamic in the world. It has many contours and no end of conflicts, but as CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reports, both sides have managed to find some common ground at the APEC economic summit in China.
Early snow
Digging out from a major snow storm isn't what you expect with winter well over a month away, but people across the upper Midwest are using shovels after a monster early season storm dumped snow across portions of nine states. Nina Moini of Minneapolis affiliate WCCO reports.
"Air Legs"
Take a rare look at future technology for U.S. troops: The military's DARPA lab creates stunning inventions, and they could help service members stay one step ahead when answering the call of duty. CBS News correspondent Chip Reid fills us in on the new "air legs" technology, in a report you'll see only on "CBS This Morning."
Honoring our vets
On the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the nation takes time to honor its veterans.
Healing by healing
Team Rubicon is an American non-governmental organization founded by retired U.S. Marines in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The organization deploys volunteer teams of military veterans as first responders in the wake of natural disasters. Continuing to serve, help people, and put their military and emergency medical training to use enables the vets to heal their own broken spirits.
Warrior-scholar
When Thomas Raio returned to civilian life in 2012 after a deployment in Afghanistan, he never wanted to carry a gun again. He also didn't want to work in a minimum wage job. Then, Raio learned about the Warrior Scholar Project, an academic summer boot camp designed to help veteran soldiers make the transition from battlefield to campus.
Andy Rooney on Veteran's Day
The late Andy Rooney, a World War II vet, suggested Veterans Day be renamed "No War Day," because that "would be worth celebrating."
Bully pulpit
Those expecting the president to focus now on finding new ways to engage Republicans may have to wait. In spite of language that sometimes sounded conciliatory last week, the president seems likely to rely on the strategy he's used for the past six years: using his bully pulpit to rally the American people and persuade the GOP to change course.
Past faces
Pictures taken by a little known photographer, Hugh Mangum, are the faces of a generation just beyond slavery -- anonymous portraits of Southerners at the dawn of a new century. CBS News correspondent Vladimir Duthiers reports only 680 of the original glass plate negatives remain, and a New York photographer is trying to learn who the people in the photos are.
Eagle rehab
Outside Washington, a national treasure is getting a second chance at life. The Blue Ridge Wildlife Center in Virginia rehabilitates injured bald eagles. One by one, they make it back into the wild. CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford gets a first-hand look at the work going on in the center.
