The date honors the sacrifices made of some 250,000 South Vietnamese and 60,000 American soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>Fonda, dubbed \u201cHanoi Jane\u201d by Vietnam veterans and refugees, faced criticism for her actions during the war, including traveling to North Vietnam, being interviewed for communist broadcasts, and posing for photos with North Vietnamese soldiers and anti-aircraft guns that were used to target American pilots.\u00a0Fonda has since apologized for the images, claiming that she was against the war but not American troops.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Correction: she has expressed <em>regrets<\/em> for the pictures taken of her but has never to my knowledge actually apologized.
