The Vietnam memorial is a masterpiece. The names of the dead are listed there, chronologically. Just the names.

When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations. So they built the Vietnam Memorial for themselves.

President Johnson did not want the Vietnam War to broaden. He wanted the North Vietnamese to leave their brothers in the South alone.

Militarily, we succeeded in Vietnam. We won every engagement we were involved in out there.

I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.

When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care - and to the mail.
