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."
