#17 – The End of American Involvement in the Vietnam War

April 23, 1975

In a speech at Tulane University in New Orleans, President Gerald R. Ford declares “Today, America can regain the sense of pride that existed before Vietnam. But it cannot be achieved by refighting a war that is finished as far as America is concerned. As I see it, the time has come to look forward to an agenda for the future, to unify, to bind up the Nation’s wounds, and to restore its health and its optimistic self-confidence.”
