The Moving Speech That No One Heard
Yet another moving moment from the movie when Forrest stands up and gives his speech alongside all of the veterans of the war. He stood proud yet nervous before the eager audience in Washington, D.C., to give a speech. And for obvious dramatic effect, the microphone cut out, and no one actually heard what he had to say. While it didn’t seem to matter to everyone there, as they were involved in their own things, Gump had really said something.

But here’s what he actually did say: “Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mamas without any legs. Sometimes they don’t go home at all. That’s a bad thing. That’s all I have to say about that.”
