Vietnam Helicopter Pilot and Crewmember Monument Dedication Ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery on April 18th was a great success. Some 3400 attendees.
For those unable to attend, the VHPA Legacy Committee was able to arrange C-SPAN coverage of the amphitheater portion of the event. The event will air on Sunday, May 6th at 11am on C-SPAN3's American History TV.

The news media was present at the ceremony, and below are links to some of the video/written reports:

Good write-up!
If I may, ANC is conducting an Eligibility Survery to insure the future of the cemetery for future burials, as it is filling up quickly these days. It specifically addresses retired personnel, however every veteran is encouraged to complete the survery.
