50
YEARS

The ending of this conflict is not so simple as just calling it off and coming home. Because the price of that kind of peace could be a thousand years of darkness for generations of Vietnam born.

Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004)

40th President of the United States

For this is a war, Mr. Rusk, not an election and it should be treated as a war. If one of our soldiers conducted himself as millions of our citizens do, he would be shot. If we lose this war, or worse, piddle it away, we are permanently lost.

John Ernst Steinbeck (1902-1968)

Letter to Secretary of State Dean Rusk, February 8, 1967
