CINCINNATI â Decades of silence following the Vietnam War has been broken thanks to social media and the power of a brotherhood.
âWeâre like a band of brothers. We call ourselves the Manchu Brothers,â explained Vietnam veteran John Antolini.
The Manchus are members of the 25th Infantry Division, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment. The regiment originally got its nickname because it fought in China during the Boxer Rebellion around the turn of the 20th century.
