In the District of Columbia, Republican (fascist/socialist) President Reagan dedicates the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, etched with the names of 57,939 members of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) who died in the war.
NOTE: Conspicuously missing are the names of the three-million Vietnamese citizens who died as if their lives did not matter.
