Nixon's promise

REPUBLICANS NOMINATED RICHARD M. NIXON, WHO PROMISED IF HE ELECTED HE WOULD DELIVER “PEACE WITH HONOR.” HE WANTED THE US OUT OF VIETNAM, BUT HE ALSO DEMANDED HONORABLE PEACE TERMS. HE PROMISED TO LISTEN TO “THE FORGOTTEN MAJORITY – THE NONSHOUTERS AND NONDEMONSTRATORS .”HE PLANNED TO NEGOTIATE TO END THE WAR!.

As this long and diffi cult war ends, I would like to address a few special words to the American people: Your steadfastness in supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with honor possible. Richard M. Nixon
