Blood drips through all the black pages of America's history book. The Indian wars, war between the states, two World Wars, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, stealing our finest from us. Let us not forget: Liberty carries responsibility. But the darkest page - abuse of our own soldiers, returning from a man-made hell in the jungles of Viet Nam. Fifty-eight thousand comrades lost, their scars run deep. Let us not forget: Liberty bears a cost.
