Witnesses reported seeing her at the event, which was held at a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, and one shared a photo with The Times.Marc E. Knapper — the U.S. ambassador and son of a Vietnam veteran — was not seen with Ms. Burns, though he had previously planned to represent the United States.Mr. Knapper is also not expected at the main event, which includes a parade and speeches on Wednesday, the actual anniversary of South Vietnam’s surrender and the American evacuation from what was then Saigon on April 30, 1975.Critics of the attendance ban welcomed Ms. Burns’ presence, but insisted it was not enough. They said that the Trump administration had already shown a lack of understanding about the importance of postwar reconciliation with a country that is now a strategic partner in efforts to counter China’s influence across the region.“From where I sit, they don’t have a clue,” said John Terzano, a founder of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, who has been returning to Vietnam since 1981.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
