Member of 'The Last Patrol' reflects on his contributions to Vietnam Veterans Memorial

CENTER CITY (PHILADELPHIA), Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is entering its 40th anniversary in 2027, and one of its original contributors was there to honor it.

Dennis Best is a double amputee veteran who was part of "The Last Patrol."

This was a fundraising march from Washington DC to Philadelphia in 1987.

The Philadelphians traced the names of veterans onto pieces of paper in DC, and physically brought them home.

Best was part of the march, pushing himself in his wheelchair across states.

Community members gathered this Veterans Day to honor the sacrifices of all whose names are on the walls.
