生於七月四日

Ron Kovic: I remember the day he was killed. It was a strange day. We were out on patrol near a beach area - and it was very confusing. There was screaming and firing. It was getting late, and there were these children, these babies, that we killed by mistake. Mrs. Wilson: How awful. Ron Kovic: And then it - got really crazy. And we had to pull back because the NVA were coming up on us. And we got scattered in the dunes. People were yelling at anything, firing at anything. And that was when it happened. I was - confused, scared. I raised my rifle three times - and shots... The body fell in the dunes. God, this is - this is very difficult for me to say. Mr. Wilson: We don't have to hear this, Ron. Ron Kovic: But, Mr. Wilson, I think I was the one that killed your son that night. I was the one. I was the one. I was the one. Jamie Wilson - Georgia: What's done is done, sir. I can't ever forgive you, but maybe the Lord can. Mrs. Wilson: We understand, Ron. We understand the pain you've been goin' through.
