Tim O'Brien Zitate

Vietnam was the defining event for my generation. It spilled over into all facets of American life - into music, into the pulpits, in churches of our country. It spilled over into the city streets, police forces. And even if you were born late in the generation, Vietnam was still part of your childhood.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Vietnam war das bestimmende Ereignis für meine Generation. Es wurde in alle Facetten des amerikanischen Lebens übertragen - in die Musik, in die Kanzeln, in die Kirchen unseres Landes. Es sprudelte in die Straßen der Stadt, Polizeikräfte. Und selbst wenn Sie spät geboren wurden, war Vietnam immer noch Teil Ihrer Kindheit.

I was part of it, and I am still part of it today in terms of what it means to a whole new generation of people who are interested in the enduring energy, achievements, spirit and creativity that exemplified our era.

Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.

My dad's from that generation like a lot of immigrants where he feels like if you come to this country, you pay this thing like the American dream tax: like you're going to endure some racism, and if it doesn't cost you your life, well hey, you lucked out. Pay it; there you go, Uncle Sam. I was born here, so I actually had the audacity of equality.

My family's story isn't special. What's special is the America that makes our story possible. Ours is a nation like no other, a place where great journeys can be made in a single generation. No matter who you are or where you come from, the path is always forward.
