Born on the Fourth of July 1989 After venting his rage at his mother's embarrassment over having a disabled son, he has an emotional conversation with his father, and he later leaves home, traveling to a small town in Mexico ("The Village of the Sun") that seems to be a haven for paralyzed Vietnam veterans.

Born on the Fourth of July 1989 Mr and Mrs. Born on the Fourth of July 1989 Wilson, however, are more forgiving and even sympathetic to his predicament and suffering, because Wilson's father fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II and is even disillusioned with the war in Vietnam.
