:23:00
And you're right,
Ronnie.
:23:02
You're doing
the right thing.
:23:04
Communism has
to be stopped.
:23:05
It's God's will
you go.
:23:08
We're proud of you.
:23:09
Be careful,
that's all.
:23:11
Up there in Hanoi,
:23:13
they don't allow magazines,
newspapers, and televisions
:23:15
to cast doubts
on the military system.
:23:18
Don't you know what being a Marine
means to me, Dad?
:23:22
Ever since
I was a kid,
:23:24
I've wanted
to serve my country,
:23:26
and I want to go.
:23:28
I want to go
to Vietnam,
:23:29
and I'll die there
if I have to.
:23:33
The attitude of people
on the home front
:23:36
is very important
in this war.
:23:39
Not a nice night
for the prom.
:23:42
Can the South Vietnamese
government
:23:44
stand up
to the North?
:23:46
We wouldn't
be here
:23:47
if we didn't
think so.
:23:57
Sometimes, God,
I'm so confused.
:24:02
Sometimes
I think I'd just...
:24:06
like to stay here
in Massapequa
:24:08
and never leave...
:24:12
but I got to go.
:24:19
Just help me, Jesus.
:24:20
Help me to make
the right decision.
:24:25
Please, dear God.
:24:52
Ron.
:24:54
Ronnie, what
happened to you?
:24:55
Ronnie.
