:21:02
For I'll be
true to you

:21:11
The batter is
Mickey Mantle.

:21:13
Mickey has two strikes
:21:15
and the chance
to put the Yankees

:21:17
ahead in this game.
:21:19
The pitcher
gets his sign,

:21:21
takes his stretch,
checks the runners.

:21:23
Here's the pitch.
:21:24
Mickey swings,
and he connects!

:21:26
There's a long drive
deep to centre field!

:21:29
It is going, going!
:21:31
It is gone
into the bleachers,

:21:33
455 feet away
:21:35
for Mickey's
491st home run!

:21:39
How about that?
:21:40
The crowd is
on its feet,

:21:43
giving Mickey
a standing ovation.

:21:45
And rattle your walls
:21:46
For the times,
they are a-changin'

:21:51
Come, senators
and congressmen

:21:54
Please heed the call
:21:55
Don't stand in the doorway
:21:57
Don't lock up the hall
:22:00
For the times,
they are a-changin'

:22:02
There's absolutely
no question.

:22:04
The First Cavalry Division
:22:05
is the latest concept
in mobile warfare.

:22:08
One division is worth
:22:09
2 1/2 Russian
and 6 Chinese divisions.

:22:12
How well will
the individual soldier

:22:14
stand up here
in Vietnam?

:22:16
What do you think,
Dad, about that?

:22:20
I don't know.
:22:21
13,000 miles--
:22:23
that's a long way to go
to fight a war.

:22:26
They fought the French
and the Japanese

:22:29
for 30 years.
:22:30
Can they
be weeded out?

:22:32
Anything
that lives in a cave

:22:34
can be weeded out.
:22:35
I just hope they send you
to Europe or Korea or...

:22:40
They can't.
:22:41
Someplace safe.
:22:42
Every Marine has
a tour of duty there.

:22:45
It's not like the Army.
:22:47
What's wrong with you?
:22:48
You served.
Uncle Bob served.

:22:50
I know, Ronnie.
I know.

:22:52
Remember what
President Kennedy said?

:22:54
There won't be
an America any more

:22:56
unless people are willing
to sacrifice.

:22:58
I love my country.
:22:59
I know.
