Born on the Fourth of July (1976)

Description

Born on July 4, 1946, Ron Kovic lived out an all-American boy hood typical of the post-war, suburban generation. A natural athlete, a shy teenager, a patriotic American, he joined the Marines. after graduating from high school and went to Vietnam. At the age of nineteen, he came back in a wheel chair, paralyzed from the chest down. His story speaks for the experience of his generation-not the cam pus radicals and activists, but the boys from working-class homes who believed in the American dream and went to war to protect it.
