“A big victory for freedom, for veterans, and for reconciliation throughout the nation”.

ABC News honored their memory with a story about Kenneth Spilman, who frequented Arlington Cemetery to pay tribute to the heroes buried there.

Whitmire said they wanted the ceremony to show support for Vietnam War veterans, who she said were not received well after the war like veterans of World War I and World War II were.

One by one each was presented with a medal on behalf of the city in recognition of their service over 40 years ago. Major General Baker said Veterans Day exemplifies the strong relationship between the CSRA and its military community.
