North Vietnamese, U.S. Vets Remember

American and Vietnamese war veterans swapped notes on old battlefields and grave sites that may help determine the fate of some servicemen from both sides who still are listed as missing in action.

A delegation from Vietnam Veterans of America gave 10 documents detailing grave sites and battlefield locations in southern Vietnam to their Vietnamese counterparts on Tuesday, Ho Xuan Dich, the Hanoi-based representative of the Vietnam Veterans Association, said Wednesday.

The graves could contain the remains of Communist soldiers from what then was North Vietnam or U.S.-backed troops from South Vietnam, Dich said.

The Vietnam Veterans Association, in return, provided the U.S. delegation with two documents showing locations and times of battles involving U.S. forces. One indicated a location where three American servicemen are believed to be buried, Dich said.
