Quote

America's history is exemplified in the efforts of the men and women who died for our country. The one thing that they all have in common is their selfless love for our nation and their courage to stand up to protect and defend it. They raised their gaze in the face of conflict, believed in what America could be, and pushed forward.

I would like America to remember those who have served and those that we've lost and their families.

With the situation now, people might be intrigued to see how a country coped with war all those years ago.

America lost its face with the debacle of the Vietnam War.

These are challenging times for all Americans. We face the specter of war abroad and a steady stream of bad economic news at home.

As often happens during a war, some parts of the country prospered, notwithstanding the constant loss.

America owed its military renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s to Vietnam. Veterans like Norman Schwartzkopf, Colin Powell, Alfred Grey, Charles Krulak, and Wesley Clark returned home angry and ashamed at their defeat and rebuilt all-volunteer, professional armed forces from the ground up.

I remember people who'd had a lot of hardship during the war. They'd thought we'd won.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States embarked on a new relationship with death, entering into a civil war that proved bloodier than any other conflict in American history, a war that would presage the slaughter of World War I's Western Front and the global carnage of the twentieth century.

We have been terrorised by what happened in America and we express our condolences to the American people who suffered from this unexpected catastrophe and a new world war.
