In memory of Kent State
May 4, 1970....four students killed by National Guard troops at Kent State. I was thinking about that tragic day recently and saw a bulletin on Myspace today about it. A sad day in our history...also the shootings at Jackson State a bit later, as folks protest the Iraq war I can't help but recall those days! RIP!!

The "incursion" into Cambodia touched off a reaction that caused turmoil and distrust of government, that with some citizens, continues to today.

It is to me still baffling about some of the twists in this trajedy.
One is a trajedy within the trajedy...an irony of ironies. I went to high school with 2 really good guys who were brothers.One a year ahead of me and one a year behind me.Bobby was one brother and he lost his life in Viet Nam...I think in '69. The other was Bill Zoller and he was one of the 7 guardsman who would stand trial for what happened. Hard to imagine what their parents went through....and again..2 nicer guys you could not meet.
