The Vietnamese government has agreed to open three new sites for excavation by the US to search for troop remains. The announcement came during a meeting in Hanoi between US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Vietnam Defense Minister Phuong Quang Thanh. They exchanged artifacts collected during the Vietnam War, including letters written by a US soldier who was killed, and a diary belonging to a Vietnamese soldier, AP reports. This is the first time such a joint exchange of war artifacts has occurred.
