“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now,” said U.S. President Richard Nixon.
Nixon’s words have remained true as this country has been in war for more than a decade now and the veterans of previous foreign wars have once again faded into the dark.

This year, they gathered again to honor those heroic veterans.
