The US army officer convicted for his part in the notorious My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War has offered his first public apology, a US report says.
`There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened,` Lt William Calley was quoted as saying by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.
He was addressing a small group at a community club in Columbus, Georgia.
Calley, 66, was convicted on 22 counts of murder for the 1968 massacre of 500 men, women and children in Vietnam.
`I feel remorse for the Vietnamese who were killed, for their families, for the American soldiers involved and their families. I am very sorry,` the former US platoon commander said on Wednesday.
