2. I was almost 15 at the time.

I went to an anti Vietnam war demonstration in Washington that day. My mother, who was still pro war at the time, was SO pissed at me when I got home because she equated going to the protest as being, among other things, disrespectful to the astronauts. We had one hell of a fight over that.

She didn't change her mind about the war until I was almost 17...go figure.

RESIST!
