I distinctly remember this. I drove my 6th grade teacher crazy - Truman died in December '72 & we learned the flag would fly at half mast for 30 days. LBJ died 27 days later & I really needed to know how the flag situation would be handled. I was THAT kid.

I was 12 when LBJ was sworn in as President. He seemed like such an old geezer, especially following JFK, but he was only 65 when he died. Younger than I am now...

The stench of LBJ’s lies about Vietnam just won’t leave me.
