WORLD IN BRIEF : VIETNAM : 7 U.S. Veterans Inaugurate Clinic
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Seven U.S. veterans inaugurated a health clinic in Yen Vien, Vietnam, an area northwest of Hanoi devastated by American bombs in 1972. The veterans worked with local Vietnamese to build the clinic, financed by a $34,000 donation from the California-based Veterans’ Vietnam Restoration Project. The veterans, six men and a woman, said they helped build the clinic on the site of a hospital destroyed by bombs to heal psychological wounds lingering from the Vietnam War.
