While in Oklahoma City for their unit reunion, three Vietnam veterans of the 3rd Battalion, 27th Marines, visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial. This unit, with a history dating back to World War II, was deployed in Vietnam for 7 months and suffered 245 killed in action and over 2,000 awarded Purple Hearts for combat. These Marines commented on how emotional their visit was, and what a wonderful tribute Oklahoma City has built.
