A well-known memorial in Washington DC pays tribute to the US service members who lost their lives in that war, but few memorials honor the Vietnamese who fought alongside them, or the hundreds of thousands who came to the US in subsequent years. A new memorial project in the “Little Saigon” neighborhood of Boston aims to do just that. Reporter Heidi Shin has the story.
