ALBANY, GA -
A Vietnam Veteran who should have been honored for his service years ago finally got the recognition he and his unit deserved.

Clyde Bartlett served as a Staff Sergeant in an artillery battalion during the Vietnam War. Today Congressman Sanford Bishop pinned on the Presidential Unit Citation approved for his unit in 2007.

Bartlett said the men in his unit didn't know they were eligible for the citation. He says even now, it's tough to talk about the war and his fellow soldiers who didn't make it home.
