On Veterans Day A Crowd Of 300 Or So Virginians Gathered In A Tent on the grounds of the estate of Gen. George C. Marshall. They were there to commemorate what they still regard as their unappreciated service in Vietnam, a war gone bad through no fault of their own. Many arrived dressed in the dark business suits of late-middle-age prosperity. A few wore faded combat fatigues. One man sported a leather flight jacket with a tonkin gulf yacht club decal on the right sleeve. VFW and American Legion caps covered bald heads and crowned gray ponytails.
