“Don’t condemn the gangbangers, they’ve got guns that are trafficked, that are not enforced, that are straw purchased and they come into places even that have strong gun laws. Why? Because we don’t have sensible gun legislation.â€

And to understand that victory had been achieved. Today we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working.

Rather than understanding the political nature of the war in Vietnam, we did not listen to those families.â€
