Another quote about Vietnam War

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, that red, white, and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief,"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one.

Another quote from the following genre Political speech

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
