I especially like the ones who claimed they were both at Woodstock and in Vietnam. They probably saw both movies. The summer of 1969 was when human beings first set foot on the moon. That's what I think of first when that time is mentioned. I was 11. I remember selling flower seeds door to door to earn a West Ben fishing pole. And my Dad getting orders to Thailand. So what has all this do do with code? My my Brian....how is it so hard for you to figure a person could be a veteran of VN and be at Kent State also? You really must be a dumb ass. I was at Kent State visiting my cousin the evening before the shootings. The national guard had blocked the streets and the kids were running up and down the street throwing rocks, etc. I had my military ID checked by the Guard on my way out of town. The next day the shootings occured. ( I was in-active reserve status). I was discharged in 1968. I went back to Thailand as a civilian and returned stateside in December of 69. My original home is Alliance, Ohio. Thats about 34 miles South of Kent, Ohio. You can now wipe the slobber off your chin. Dan/W4NTI |

The national guard had blocked the streets and the kids were running up and down the street throwing rocks, etc. I was there the day before delivering lunch to my Dad...He was director of communications for KSUPD at the time. I was at Brown Junior High when we all got sent home suddenly...I found out about the shootings when I got home and turned on the scanner. I later joined the KSU Amateur Radio Club (K8GRA)when I got my Novice in October of 72...a perk of being the dependent of a campus employee. I had a chance to see the damage done by the students to the new Tower Dormitories on the south side of the campus...It was so new that some of the rooms still had new plastic on the matresses and it smell of mothballs...Trashed beyond recognition in some places. I was discharged in 1968. I went back to Thailand as a civilian and returned stateside in December of 69. My original home is Alliance, Ohio. Thats about 34 miles South of Kent, Ohio. Ravenna...been there? =) (Class of 74) Score still stands at National Guard 4...KSU Zip. 73 Steve, K4YZ |

I was a vet of the VN bull****, but I really had a lot in common with the 'kids'. When I left out of the Kent area that evening...I told the guard that this BS about Nixon invading Cambodia was BS. I was in Cambodia re-supplying US troops in 67. And in Laos too. He was rather shocked. Oh well. Yes indeed the US Government lied. Dan/W4NTI Steve, K4YZ |
