OK this is the Vietnam Project DVP home fund 0 0 4 0 2. It is the hit of cameral 5 24 sound roll 2 5 1 3. It is Sunday the 12th of September minus a TV reference. Upcoming will be take number one. You mean.

It was take two. Oh I see that. Second. Grade.

For.

The. British. Sorry I'm the moral suasion on Concorde and the rededication of the Vietnam War. As you can see we have to actually get to the church and to regard are sure to be very good. With Dan. Rather a lot. This is their request. So that I think I am good at being done. Look natural. Police fired one or the cameraman and the like. Just like two different church normal just like God or the afterlife. You knew all this for relief on TV for the love of God and in front of people not only sure to be would you or would appear to sort of break probably flown.

Well it's a bearded Lord. I can attest. To. Her. Her. Career on the way out is course.

Said all her life and still others want to. And here we will be there at it. It is certainly not. There to get it fixed because we've interviewed put to death and rise every day said. He said this quite openly here that you're going to get your writers. I think sitting in a bar and I used to cycle through every other week to. Get out of fights like sake you know I think I got stuck like a kid and one mile from the balcony telling America the way shot. The name of the founder of the song of the Holy Spirit.

I really only walk across the street. To the Vietnam Memorial and I did so the other night. You know wanted to get some inspiration for this event. You know you want a way with a couple of clones that I would like to share with you. This morning. I asked myself the question what does this morning Human say to me. First of all. It says something very important in words that are actually on the memorial. Itself. If you forget my dad and I have died in a

day. A year ago. So many of South Austin gathered together to raise money for this memorial. And that was the thought behind the whole project. That the people of south of Boston. May not have to guess. What these men did that they would not forget. Why they died. So they raised the money to build this beautiful morning mount. The first of its kind in the entire country because they did not want the world. They did not want a country they did not want South Boston ever to

forget what it was to our country. It said that to me. But it also said something else to me. It said that the people of Boston. Len's its. Not. Gives it. To the families of these men. That we don't forget them either and that in some way we will try to get some understanding with inside of us. All the years of anguish and anger that went on that went on inside of their high.

Heels many years since their loved ones. Their husbands. Their wives robbed of their parents. Brothers and sisters their children their grandparents. Their uncles and aunts. All of these people have had to have a very special kind of pain. Because our country by our lives did not approve of what they did. So these men came back. One by one they came back to life. Many of them did not come back alive. But they came back to a country that did not welcome. There were no parades there were there were no celebrations.

They came back many times all by themselves. Individually. They hopped a plane in sight in Saigon by themselves and they returned quietly and the law. So those men have someone some understanding of what the loved ones the parents the wives. Had to go through these many years and so that monument is it is dedicated to them too in a very special way. It is South Boston saying to these wonderful people the family of these men that our hearts go with you. It may almighty God. Grant them the loved ones of these 25 veterans of Vietnam who die for our country. May almighty

God grant them. Peace of mind and soul. May almighty God grant them strength to be able to deal with the anger and with the pain and what that sense of loss. And finally May almighty God grant them. An abundance of His eternal life in the name of the file of and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let us stand out from the. Face and. Say. We believe what. You. Just let me tell you. Yeah yeah yeah

Well nobody was ever a carnation was more than sufficient. We were at home. We were all the way home. There was no need to make him know we are still young. Maybe that's why.
