In the book there was no mention of Forrest running but I read that it was a great chance for beautiful wide-angle shots. They were breathtaking.
As far as I know he just played the part of Bubba Blue.

When Forrest began to speak, a vandal pulled the plugs on the amplification system so that the crowd could not hear what he had to say. According to the "Forrest Gump" trivia page on IMDb (Internet Movie Database), Tom Hanks says that 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."
In the movie: Forrest Gump meets JFK after becoming an all-American football player. Forrest Gump meets Lyndon B. Johnson to receive the Congressional Medal of Honour because of his valour in carrying wounded soldiers back from the lines despite being shot in the bum. Forrest Gump meets Nixon after becoming a really skilled ping pong player, and taking part in an American delegation to China using ping pong diplomacy.
Bill Murray was considered for the role; John Travolta and Chevy Chase both turned it down. Dave Chappelle, David Allen Grier and Ice Cube all turned down the role of Bubba (Chappelle said he thought that the movie would bomb). Terry Gilliam and Barry Sonnenfeld both turned down the opportunity to direct.
I can't remember that there was any music for that particular scene.
The person wearing the American flag shirt, who asks Forrest, "Tell us a little bit about the war, man" is supposed to be real-life war-protester Abey Hoffman. Richard D'Alessandro played the part.
