Maya Lin became a household name when she won a national design competition for the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington, D.C. She has designed other acclaimed works, but her latest creation won't be around for long, and instead of a tribute to our past, it's a warning about our future. Anthony Mason shows how it all came to be.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" cohosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and toplevel newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.
