have just gone. It's a free country.

Come on.

Come on!

(woman sings "Amazing Grace")

I once was lost

But now I am found

Was blind

But now

I see

Alden Palmer Denny

is the first boy...

...from Culloch County

to die in Vietnam.

Let us wish him Godspeed and peace

and pray that he'll be the last. Amen.

(all) Amen.

I said something to

my brother one time,

that this wasn't my war.

I guess I was wrong.

It's everybody's war.

I'm sorry, Alden.

My father over there has got medals

to prove that he fought in a good war.

And I'm proud of my father,

even though he doesn't like me right now.

I don't believe that this is a good war.

That's all Ralph was trying to say.

It's all my brother

ended up saying, too.

Seems as though there's nothing

you can do about it though.

That's what you hear on the news,

you know? It's just the way it is.

You can disagree.

You can say that it's not right.

That's what freedom is.

I'm going down to the courthouse now

to try and get my friend out of jail.

And I guess you're just going to have

to shoot me, Junior. But it's a protest.

A protest against this.

Anybody who would like

to come with me... you can.

(horn)

Get the hell off the road.

Hey, man.

(Scott) In November of '69,

327 of us from Culloch County,

including my father,

marched in Washington

along with 700,000 other Americans

to protest the war in Vietnam.

This film is

dedicated to all of us.

Dedicated to peace.

(" Windows Of The World"

by the retenders)

The windows of the world

Are covered with rain

Where is the sunshine

we once knew?

Everybody knows

When little children play

They need a sunny day

To grow straight and tall

Let the sun shine through

The windows of the world

Are covered with rain

When will those black skies

turn to blue?

Everybody knows

When boys grow into men

They start to wonder when

Their country will call

Let the sun shine through

The windows of the world

Are covered with rain

What is the whole

world coming to?

Everybody knows

When men cannot be friends

Their quarrel often ends

Where some have to die

Let the sun shine through

Windows of the world

Are covered with rain

There must be something

we can do

Everybody knows

Whenever rain appears

It's really angel tears

How long must they cry?

Let the sun shine through
