- Paul: Dear David. Son, if you're reading this, you know I've met my maker. I gave this letter to my main man, your godfather Otis, when we landed back in Nam. I came back to confront the demons that haunted me and tortured you. I made you feel like you weren't loved. Our brother Stormin' Norman always commanded us Bloods, love one another. In that way, I failed you, man. All I can say to you is, I'm sorry I put you through holy hell. Believe me, this just came. It wasn't your fault. There are things about me that you will never know or understand, David. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I can't. Nobody can. But to eternity and back, your dear mother, Jackie, and I will love you always. You best believe I will love you always, son. Your father. Your dad.
- Paul: Hear me. You will not kill Paul. And the US government will not take me out. I will choose when and how I die.
- Hanoi Hannah: In Memphis, Tennessee, a White Man assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King who heroically opposed the cruel racial discrimination in the USA. Dr. King also opposed the US War in Vietnam. Your government sent six hundred thousand troops to crush the rebellion. Your soul sisters and soul brothers are enraged in over one hundred and twenty-two cities. They kill them while you fight against us so far away from where you are needed. The South Vietnamese people are resolute against these fascist acts against Negroes who struggle for civil rights and freedom. Negroes are only 11 percent of the US Population but among troops here in Vietnam you are thirty-two percent. Is it fair you serve more than the white Americans that sent you here! Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on. I dedicate brother Marvin Gaye'"What's Going On" to the soul brothers of the 1st Infantry Division. Big Red One, 2nd Battalion 136th Regiment.
- Otis: [after hearing Hanoi Hannah's speech on the radio about the assassination of Martin Luther King, Junior] Let's Go Kill Some Crackers.
