PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Veterans held a ceremony at the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Sunday in honor of its 15th anniversary.

Many of the Korean and Vietnam Veterans in attendance said the country should support President George W. Bush's plans for war in Iraq. They said they were frustrated by the anti-war protests around the nation.

"I don't think (anti-war protesters) understand," said Bob Martin, 54, a Marine who served in Vietnam. "(Hussein) gets these bombs and what are we going to do? Wait for another Pearl Harbor or Sept. 11? We can't wait for something else to happen."

About 300 people attended the ceremony at the memorial.

Keynote speaker Ronald D. Castille, a Vietnam veteran and Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice, said: "Once again America is being called to shoulder the burden of a new war. We will be sadly burdened to build new memories."
