Everybody respects the Vietnam Veterans of America.

When you try to find funding for a VVA function, it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.

Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.

You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corps because of something that I said or did.

Back in the old Corp, we weren't training those privates to infiltrate into the peacetime Marine Corp. We were training those privates to go to Vietnam.

I always love to come to Austin.

I try to get over to Iraq and Afghanistan as much as I can.
