Vietnam vets killed during secret Pacific mission get Maine memorial nearly 60 years later
Fox News
On Saturday, families of more than 20 fallen soldiers were on hand for the unveiling of a memorial to honor those who perished over the Pacific Ocean.
Ever since, their families have been fighting to get answers about the mission from the Pentagon. They also want their loved ones to be recognized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. "It’s almost as if they never existed as soldiers. It’s almost like they don’t matter, that their deaths don’t matter." For the families, it's been heart-wrenching that the soldiers were not properly memorialized like others who died in the war. "I do feel frustrated. It’s almost as if they never existed as soldiers. It’s almost like they don’t matter, that their deaths don’t matter," said Dianna Taylor Crumpler, of Olive Branch, Mississippi, whose brother, James Henry Taylor, an Army chaplain, died on the flight.More Related News
