Veterans, family and friends gathered to pay honor to those who fought in the Vietnam War.  The wall, which had been assembled earlier in the week, recognizes the thousands who died there.  Members of the Greater Danbury area, including Newtown, honored those who had given their lives for their country.

Warrant Officer Eric G. Blantin of Newtown, whose name is on the wall, was honored during the ceremony.
