National Vietnam Veterans Day marked by small crowds
President Reagan declared the day a national recognition for Vietnam Era veterans. Veterans walked 818 miles to Washington to fund a memorial to the 57,000 who died, and private donations aim to reach a $7 million goal. A 12 year old from Brookhaven wrote a letter of thanks, and ceremonies across cities honored returning veterans amid mixed public reception.
