Season 9 Quotes

Season 9 / Episode 4: - The Triumph

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] In 1945 on Waltons Mountain with the coming of summer, buds became leaves and wildflowers painted the hills and fields as no human artist could. It was as if nature was defying the war that consumed the world. On the home front there were shortages, rationing, and a deepening war-weariness that only victory could ease. But the greatest problem of all for my family was coping with the anxiety about those of us who were in the service. One brother was stationed nearby and three were overseas, one of whom, my brother, Jason, was fighting on the frontlines somewhere in Germany.

Season 9 / Episode 19: - The Heartache

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] There was a growing independence in our family as we grew older. With the years we became more individual, often holding firm and differing opinions, approaching life from diverse directions. But let joy or sorrow come to one, it always came to us all, to be faced, to be shared, to be experienced together. When the Waltons needed to be a family we came together as one.
