By KGNS News

U.S. Customs and Border Protection along with Laredo Community College and Laredo Veterans Coalition came together to say a final goodbye to fallen military members.

The ceremony was held at the L.C.C. Fort McIntosh Campus Cemetery and is part of Laredo's Vietnam War Veterans Unsung Heroes Week.

The Marine Corps firing squad from Zapata was also part of the memorial and performed a 21-gun salute.

Twenty-seven Laredoans were killed in action during the Vietnam conflict.
