Alexandria honors 68 Vietnam War fallen heroes, then turns to Pearl Harbor's unknowns
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The 68 names inscribed on Alexandria's Vietnam Veterans Memorial were read aloud one at a time Wednesday afternoon at the Mount Vernon Recreation Center, each with the man's rank, his branch and a decoration he earned.
Readers took turns at a microphone beside the podium, working alphabetically from Capt. Paul Martin Bayless of the Air Force. Seven of the names ended the same way: missing in action.
More than 100 people filled the gym on a 70-degree fall afternoon.
