Is Forrest's speech at the anti-war rally available anywhere?

Is Forrest's speech at the anti-war rally available anywhere? - Men and Women Protesting

Forrest delivers an impromptu speech at an anti-war rally in Washington DC.

The audience of the rally, and us the viewer, did not get the hear this speech due to the mic being disconnected. It is evidentially a moving speech due to the reaction given by those immediately next to him who can hear it.

Is there anywhere that I can hear/read what Forrest said?



Best Answer

Yes (apparently).

According to Tom Hanks, Forrest said:

“Sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mommas 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.”

I say apparently as I can't find a primary source for the Tom Hanks quote. It's everywhere, but I'd love to find an actual interview where he says it.
