During the Vietnam War, when the body of a fallen serviceman - TopicsExpress



          

During the Vietnam War, when the body of a fallen serviceman returned to Corpus Christi, the American GI Forum would send a delegation of its members to the airport to salute the war dead. The number of Mexican American armed forces personnel members who served in Vietnam and the number of those who died in the conflict was higher than their proportion in the population. As I recall, the American GI Forum made a point to remember the returning honor dead, regardless of their race or ethnicity. I know this was sometime between 1966 and 1969 because it is a blowup of KZTV-10 newsfilm when black-and-white film was used.
