The ceremony was kicked off with a candid speech by the President regarding the need for further escalation of the war in Vietnam. President Johnson awarded four Medals of Honor to men from each of the Armed Services. America owes you a debt of gratitude, son. I understand you were wounded. Where were you hit? - In the buttocks, sir. - That must be a sight.

After that, Mama went to the hotel to lay down, so I went out for a walk to see our nation's capital. ISABEL: Hilary, all right, I've got the vets, what do you want me to do with them? HILARY: What are you doing here so late? It's a good thing Mama was resting, 'cause the streets was awful crowded with people looking at all the statues and monuments, and some of them people were loud and pushy. Okay, follow me! Come on. Let's move it out.

Now, Mama said there's only so much fortune a man really needs, and the rest is just for showing off. So, I gave a whole bunch of it to the Foursquare gospel church, and I gave a whole bunch to the Bayou La Batre fishing hospital. And even though Bubba was dead and Lieutenant Dan said I was nuts, I gave Bubba's mama Bubba's share. You know what? She didn't have to work in nobody's kitchen no more. That smells wonderful.

Oh? Well, before you go, why don't you get your ass down to the corner - and get us another bottle of Ripple. - Yes, sir. We are at approximately 45th Street in New York City at One Astor Plaza. This is the site of the old Astor Hotel. DAN: What the hell is in Bayou La Batre? FORREST: Shrimping boats. DAN: Shrimping boats? Who gives a shit about shrimping boats? FORREST: I gotta buy me one of them shrimping boats, soon as I have some money. I made me a promise to Bubba in Vietnam that as soon as the war was over, we'd go in partners. He'd be the captain of the shrimping boat and I'd be his first mate. But now that he's dead, that means I gotta be the captain. - A shrimp boat captain. - Yes, sir. A promise is a promise, Lieutenant Dan. (LAUGHING)

Then Bubba said something I won't ever forget. I wanna go home. Bubba was my best good friend. And even I know that ain't something you can find just around the corner. Bubba was gonna be a shrimping boat captain, but instead he died right there by that river in Vietnam.
