Members of the Cloquet Combined Honor Guard and the Fond du Lac Honor Guard give a rifle salute. Richard Yeasel is FDL member on the end. "I don't know how to say thank you to all my comrades who aren't here anymore," Vietnam veteran Tommy Whitebird said at the ceremony. "There were 58,000 who passed away in Vietnam. That doesn't count the 100,000, or 200,000 who came back from there and suffered - a lot. ... I lost a lot of my friends."
