Vietnam veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs says there are 523,000 Florida veterans who served during that period. One of them, Fred Robinson, was a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps.

The central Florida Vietnamese community commemorated the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon - the capture of the South Vietnam capital that signaled the end of the Vietnam War.
