Image and Video coverage of the USMA 1970 Vietnam Memorial Remembrance Ceremony and Reception

Thanks to Classmate Bill Taylor for Image and Vide coverage of the USMA 1970 Vietnam Memorial Remembrance Ceremony and Reception held last Saturday, October 10, 2015 at the Vietnam Wall (Reception was held after the ceremony at a local establishment)

Special thanks to classmate Charlie McGee and his team for organizing this special event.

The wreath laying is only 21 seconds, but clearly presents that portion of the event.

The service is 66 minutes and the audio came out OK, with some background noise (that was unavoidable from National Airport Plane Take offs)

Problems with the links - let me know please (frank.j.monaco@gmail.com)
