Obama to mark 50th anniversary of Vietnam War [View all]




In addition to the traditional wreath laying at Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama's Memorial Day activities Monday will mark the start of a 13-year project to honor the 50-year anniversary of the Vietnam War.

"It's another chance to honor those we lost at places like Hue, Khe Sanh, Danang and Hamburger Hill," Obama said in a weekend radio address. "And we'll be calling on you -- the American people -- to join us in thanking our Vietnam veterans in your communities."
