Description:

National park rangers are working to recover a missile base that played a central role in the nuclear tensions between the United States and Soviet Union during the 1960s. Washington quickly built the Florida base after the discovery of Soviet missiles some 300 kilometers away, on the island of Cuba. Now the historic site is drawing crowds, including former US service members who lived through the Cuban missile crisis. Brian Wagner reports.
