I was a teenager when I heard this speech rebroadcast throughout the states. This has to be one of the greatest speeches ever made. It has to rank up there with Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech and the Gettysburg Address. Only the Sermon on the Mount surpasses them all.
I wish there was a way we could give the late Mr. Sinclair honorary citizenship. 1973 was a very dark year. Those of you that can remember it can agree. I didn't think there was anyway we could recover but we did.
A year after Mr. Sinclair's speech we had a US President resign from office. That President, for all of his faults, loved this country. The current President we have now, for all of his faults, loves this country.
Mr. Sinclair's speech still resonates from his grave.
