WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a ceremony some people thought would never take place, American soldiers were honored at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Friday for trying to stop a massacre that symbolized, for many, the darkest hour for the U.S. military in the Vietnam War.
American troops on a search-and-destroy mission stormed My Lai on March 16, 1968, killing hundreds of Vietnamese civilians, including women and children.
Thompson, then 24, landed his helicopter amid the carnage of the massacre, and, when he realized that American troops were attacking civilians, called for help to airlift the massacre's survivors to safety.
