Vietnam veterans gather for memorial on city's riverfront: 'It should never happen again'
About 60 Vietnam War veterans, along with family and supporters, gathered at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Chicago Riverwalk Saturday morning to commemorate National Vietnam War Veterans Day, 50 years after the war ended.
Jan Scruggs, lawyer and veteran Robert Doubek, and other associates formed the nonprofit Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund in 1979 with an eye on launching a memorial by Veterans Day 1982.
