YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. -- Patriotism and gratitude were front and center for Memorial Day in the Hudson Valley.

CBS2's Tony Aiello spoke with a Vietnam veteran who holds many fallen friends in his heart.

"We all lost friends and relatives, and this is the day dedicated to them," John Fratangelo told Aiello. He's now 75, but marching in the Yorktown Memorial Day Parade makes him think back to the summer he was 19. He was a kid from the Bronx serving in Vietnam alongside his cousin and best friend, Tony Rutigliano.
