On February 27, 1968, America heard a voice, a powerful voice, a voice that we could trust. Walter Cronkite, on his nightly news broadcast, said these words about the Vietnam War.

"It is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out of this war is to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could."
