"We did not choose to be the guardians at the gate, but there is no one else.
We are in Vietnam to fulfill one of the most sacred pledges of the American Nation. The people of South Vietnam have fought of many years.
Thousand of them have died. We just cannot now dishonor our word , or abandon our commitment, or leave those who believed us and who trusted
us to the terror and repression that would follow. This, then, my fellow Americans , is why we were in Vietnam"
President Lindon B. Jonhson, July 29 1965
