In 1986 |
| [00:01.17] |
I became associated |
| [00:02.37] |
Involved with the uh |
| [00:03.66] |
Viet Nam Veterans Parade committee |
| [00:04.71] |
Which |
| [00:04.89] |
Um |
| [00:05.10] |
Put together the largest Viet Nam veteran's parade |
| [00:08.18] |
In the history of America right here in this city |
| [00:10.53] |
Applause |
| [00:10.74] |
It happened really because I'd written a song called Black Wall |
| [00:14.64] |
Which is about the memorial |
| [00:15.39] |
Are there |
| [00:15.72] |
Got any veterans here tonight |
| [00:17.25] |
And um |
| [00:17.49] |
My brother in law Chuck |
| [00:18.09] |
Who is a uh |
| [00:18.39] |
Marine vet from Viet Nam |
| [00:19.77] |
Who's |
| [00:20.22] |
Was supposed to be here tonight |
| [00:22.14] |
But uh |
| [00:22.32] |
He became ill the last two or three weeks |
| [00:23.28] |
He's been in a hospital so obviously we wish |
| [00:25.92] |
Chuck a very speedy recovery 'cause he's just |
| [00:27.87] |
He's so pissed that he's not here |
| [00:30.06] |
But this is for him and all the veterans of that war |
| [00:31.59] |
Applause |
