Monday is Memorial Day, and this year it marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S. military's first major strike against North Vietnam. It was 1965, and by the time war ended, almost 60,000 American troops were dead, many more wounded. A lot of the troops in that war were Latino. But to this day, no one knows exactly how many. We meet a historian in Southern California who's working to change that.
