| Keywords: outdoor Lynda Johnson Robb, daughter of President Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson, hugs her friend Sally Griffis of Peachtree City, Georgia on Tuesday April 26, 2016 at the LBJ Presidential Library during its Vietnam War Summit. Griffis' husband, Marine Capt. William "Bill" Griffis, III, was killed during the Vietnam War on January 24, 1970. At left is the Griffises' daughter, Mitty Griffis Mirrer of Providence, Rhode Island, who was born just a few hours before the official notification of the death of her father. At right is Charles Robb, a Vietnam veteran, former governor and U.S. senator from Virginia, and Lynda Robb's husband. The Robbs recognized the contributions of Vietnam War veterans in a ceremony outside the LBJ Presidential Library as part of the library's three-day Vietnam War Summit. Each veteran at the ceremony received a Vietnam veteran lapel pin engraved on the back with “A Grateful Nation Thanks and Honors You.” The LBJ Presidential Library is hosting the Vietnam War Summit to discuss and reflect upon the lessons and legacy of the 50-year-old war. The Vietnam War Summit runs from April 26-April 28 at the LBJ Library. LBJ Library photo by Nick Ut 04/26/2016.
