About This Quote
During the Vietnam War, many Americans were against the war. They opposed the war on moral grounds because they believed that it was wrong to send troops to another country to fight for them. This made them want to stop the war. However, even though it broke their hearts, they did not stop fighting.
They did not lose hope in winning the war and winning for their country. They believe in their country so much, that it almost cost them their lives.
