Authorities say American veterans of the Vietnam War have helped locate a mass grave of 81 Communist soldiers who died in battle more than 40 years ago. snip

About 58,000 Americans and 3 million Vietnamese died in the Vietnam War. It ended in 1975 when communist North Vietnamese forces overran Saigon, the former capital of U.S.-backed South Vietnam.
