Ditto.

I was a college student against the war, and for civil rights. For me, the sixities was the Beatles, MLK, JFK, RFK, Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, The '68 Democratic Convention in Chicago, The Kent State killings, Sit-Ins, Wounded Knee, Civil Rights Marches and Voter Registration Drives in the South, and Woodstock. I can't look at a picture from that time without remembering the smell of tear-gas.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution broke faith with the American people. I can't even imagine what it would have been like to have had a parent in Vietnam. What a horrible thing to have had to live for, for you and for your father.
