Ron Kovic: [to the reporters on a news camera] I'm here tonight to say that this war is wrong, this society lied to me, lied to my brothers. They've deceived the people of this country – tricked them into going 13,000 miles to fight a war against poor peasant people who have a proud history of resistance, who have been struggling for their own independence for 1,000 years – the Vietnamese people. I can't find the words to express, and the leadership of this government sickens me. People say that if you don't love America, then get the hell out. Well, I love America. We love the people of America very much, but when it comes to the government it stops right there. The government are a bunch of corrupt thieves, they are rapists and robbers. And we are here to say that we don't have to take it anymore. We are here to say we are here to tell the truth; they are killing our brothers in Vietnam! We want them to hear the truth tonight!

Ron Kovic: [to the reporters on a news camera] Is that what we get? Spit in the face! I've got as much right to be here as these delegates. I fought for that right. You're not gonna stop me! You're not gonna shut me up! I'm gonna remind you of this war for the rest of my life so what happened there never happens again! We're never, never gonna let the people of the United States forget that war, because the moment we do, there's gonna be another war, and another, and another. That's why we're gonna be here for the rest of our lives telling you that the war happened – it wasn't just some nightmare – it happened, and you're not gonna sweep it under the rug because you didn't like the ratings, like some television show. This wheelchair, our wheelchairs, this steel, our steel is your Memorial Day parade on wheels, we are your Yankee Doddle Dandy coming home…

Ron Kovic: We went to Vietnam to stop communism!… We shell women and children!
Mrs. Kovic: You didn't shoot women and children! What are you saying?
Ron Kovic: That was the war, communism, the incidious evil! They told us to go.
Mrs. Kovic: Yes, yes that's what they told us.
Ron Kovic: Thou shalt not kill, Mom. Thou shalt not kill women and children! Thou shalt not kill! Remember? Isn't that what you taught us? Isn't that what they taught us?
Mrs. Kovic: Stop it! Stop it!

Ron Kovic: [to Charlie] I had a mother; I had a father, things – things that made sense. Do you remember things that made sense? Things you could count on? Before we all got so lost? What are we gonna do, Charlie? What am I gonna do?
