One Part Of Wisdom Is Knowing What

I Never Would've Imagined In The First Part Of My Life That I Could've Stood Up And Said Anything. The War In Vietnam Changed Me. I Was So Angry. Some Of My Speeches Probably Weren't Well Considered.

I've Worked Really, Really Hard On Myself To Not Be Judgmental.

The Challenge Is Not To Be Perfect. It’s To Be Whole.

I Would Like To Say Something, Not Just To Vietnam Veterans In New England, But To Men Who Were In Vietnam, Who I Hurt, Or Whose Pain I Caused To Deepen Because Of The Things That I Said Or Did. I Was Trying To Help End The Killing And The War, But There Were Times When I Was Thoughtless And Careless About It And I'm...very Sorry That I Hurt Them. And I Want To Apologize To Them And Their Families.

We Understand That Nixon's Aggression Against Vietnam Is A Racist Aggression, That The American War In Vietnam Is A Racist War, A White Man's War...we Deplore That You Are Being Used As Cannon Fodder For U.s. Imperialism. We've Seen Photographs Of American Bombs And Antipersonnel Weapons Being Dropped, Wantonly, Accidentally Perhaps, On Your Heads, On The Heads Of Your Comrades.
