00:50Mr. McConnell, I knew your son.
00:55♪♪
01:03How do you know my son?
01:05Annapolis, Pensacola.
01:11My son was weak!
01:13No, sir.
01:14Oh, come on, kid, you don't think I know?
01:17Do you know how many times I've read this letter
01:19waiting for the day when it would say something different?
01:21Kevin told me about you, how you'd react to all this.
01:25All I wanted to do was tell you the truth.
01:28Listen, I just put my son in the ground!
01:30I think you owe me a little time with this.
01:33Kevin was about to be discharged
01:37because he was honest about who he was.
01:41Kevin showed me that the things we fight for,
01:45freedom, honor, virtue,
01:49none of them matter unless you can live them for yourself.
01:55I came here because you needed to know who your son really was.
