Summary:

VIETNAM HEROES: "Operation Hawthorne", 40 miles north of Pleiku in Vietnam, rescues the men of an Army Special Forces camp under heavy attack by the Vietcong. Men of the "Screaming Eagles"...air lifted to the area, turn the tide of battle. Meanwhile, at the White House, Lieutenant Charles Williams receives the Medal of Honor from President Johnson for heroism in a similar operation, defending a "Green Beret" camp. BROOKLYN NAVY YARD CLOSES The closing of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in special ceremonies, marks the end of a 165-year era of ship building and repair, and closes the gates of one of the world's greatest shipyards. Some 70,000 men and women worked in the Yard during the peak employment years of World War II. The Yard's closing is an economy move. SPORTS AAU TRACK MEET: In the AAU outdoor Track and Field championships, at Randall's Island, New York, sees Ed Burke beat Harold Connolly in the hammer-throw event.
