Memorial day: hommage d'Obama

"“It’s another chance to honor those we lost at places like Hue, Khe Sanh, Danang and Hamburger Hill. And we’ll be calling on you — the American people — to join us in thanking our Vietnam veterans in your communities,” Obama said, previewing the remarks he’ll deliver at the Vietnam memorial to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the start of that war.

Obama also turned his attention to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We have to serve them and their families as well as they have served us: By making sure that they get the healthcare and benefits they need; by caring for our wounded warriors and supporting our military families; and by giving veterans the chance to go to college, find a good job, and enjoy the freedom that they risked everything to protect,”
