Today is July the 4th,
and I believe in America.

1:07:44
And I believe
in Americanism.

1:07:47
But most of all,
1:07:48
I believe in victory
for America.

1:07:52
Some people are starting
to say the war is wrong,

1:07:56
that we shouldn't be there.
1:07:57
Some people would like to
tear our country down.

1:08:00
But who are the kids
1:08:02
defending their right
to protest?

1:08:04
These are the kids
who care about America,

1:08:06
kids who have respect
for their flag

1:08:09
and their parents
and their government

1:08:11
and their religion.
1:08:13
Kids like Joey Walsh.
1:08:16
He was the first.
1:08:18
We got a street
in the park named after him.

1:08:20
And Danny Topinka,
1:08:22
Billy Vorsovich,
1:08:25
Phil and Larry Powell,
1:08:26
Tommy Finnelli.

Six boys from Massapequa...
1:08:31
and they all knew
1:08:33
what honour, duty,
and sacrifice meant.

1:08:36
They paid
the highest price.

1:08:38
They died for it.
1:08:42
This town's
been hit hard.

1:08:44
It's always
been hit hard.

1:08:46
Doc here, he was
in the First War.

1:08:49
A lot of us here
were in the Second.

1:08:52
That's why
we can't give up.

1:08:54
That's why we're going to
win in Vietnam.

1:08:59
Because Massapequa's
been there before,
