Four day salute planned Viet vets to get late welcome
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund plans a four day National Salute to Vietnam Veterans in November starting on Veterans Day. About 100000 veterans are expected to attend events in Washington DC including visits to the memorial, wreath laying at Arlington, a U S Army band concert and unit reunions. The effort honors those who returned to little fanfare after serving between 1965 and 1973.
