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

We were very poor and my family lost everything during the war - our home and our identity. But I'm a believer in luck and think the social conditions you're born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I've been lucky.

In times of war, it is often best to look to our history to see how past generations of Americans dealt with the loss of their countrymen in just causes.

With Ronald Reagan in the White House, somebody had to look out for those who were not so fortunate. That's where I came in.

I had seen people who had lost everything and everyone they loved to war, famine, and natural disasters.

Let it be remembered, too, that at a time of war, nearly every one is under great strain.

I think there's a tremendous split between people who've been through a war and people who haven't.

As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not.

In France, when there was a war, we fought and our ancestors fought, though many had real reason to flee the Germans.
