Mixed feelings among Viet vets over Nixon cease fire
At Da Nang and across Vietnam, veterans react with joy, doubt, and uneasy restraint as Nixon announces a cease-fire. Troops resume work while many hope for lasting peace, reflecting on losses and questions of what was gained from the war. Notable cases include Sondria twins from Hawaii, Marvin Hargette of New Mexico, and others who survived near Da Nang and still face recovery and uncertainty.
