A LOOK BACK AT THE VIETNAM WAR: Poems and photos by George Payne

“I don’t think that unless a greater effort is made by the government to win popular support that the war can be won out there. In the final analysis, it is their war. They are the ones who have to win it or lose it. We can help them, we can give them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisors, but they have to win it, the people of Vietnam, against the communists.” - PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY in a televised interview with Walter Cronkite on September 2, 1963
