A lasting tribute to Vietnam veterans was unveiled in New Rochelle Tuesday.
A permanent monument was placed on the front lawn of City Hall after raising more than $22,000.
Twenty-one names of those who gave their life for the U.S. were read during the ceremony.
"I do appreciate this. I didn't think I'd see this day," says veteran Joseph Della Cava.
