SAN DIEGO — America’s fallen heroes were honored aboard the USS Midway on Monday as part of the annual Memorial Day ceremony.

"The Army nurses who deployed to Vietnam were the youngest cohort of wartime Army nurses ever deployed to a war, with the average age of 23.6. I think the average age of our troops was about 20-21 years old as well, and this is all according to the Vietnam War Memorial," Hilliard said. "It's really eye opening to hear that it's not just infantry that gets hurt, it's nurses, it's everyone," Hoang said.
