USS Constitution Salutes Our Vietnam Veterans
From the May 18, 2018, Boston Globe "USS Constitution Salutes Vietnam Veterans, Commemorates the War."
The USS Constitution is usually connected with the War of 1812, but Friday it commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.
Five hundred Vietnam veterans departed on the Constitution at 10 a.m. and sailed around the harbor. At Castle Island, the ship fired a 21-gun salute toward the South Boston Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
