27. Still pierces my soul

Fri Jun 19, 2020, 02:56 PM

Jun 2020

I was a college freshmen when the National Guard killed four students in Ohio. I knew then that any of us could be killed. With the military draft still in effect, every young man was at risk for death in Viet Nam. Nixon and his army hated us young people.
I'm old now and fully support and love the BLM protesters.
