        I was 19 and had just completed 2 years at Kent State. My friends were still there. My father told me that if they were protesting they deserved what happened to them. It is a tough time burned into my memory.

        What I took away from Kent was the knowledge that our parents' generation would kill us to maintain the status quo.

        The shooting at Kent State is 47 yrs ago this Friday, May 4, 1970. Thank God, it is memorialized in song. I play ‘Ohio’ by CSN&Y often. The line, ‘What If you knew her & found her on the ground; how can you run when you know?’ always hits me on the gut!

        Neil Young’s line, ‘We are finally on our own,’ is saying our parent’s generation has rejected us. #NARA

        I was a combat troop in Vietnam on that same night. It was an invasion of Cambodia. The memory is real.

        The next day, Austin, Texas had the largest public demonstration I have ever witnessed. I observed the entire widest street in the city completely filled with people, with the people stretching all the way from campus to the Federal Building downtown.

        I was across the state line in Pittsburgh on the picket line at my own school when we heard the news about Kent State. We definitely felt afraid that students would be under attack everywhere. We were very afraid of the government in those days and justifiably so.

        Yes. I won't ever forget the long line of military tanks rumbling down Main St of my sweet little college. I suggest everyone watch a PBS documentary called "The Day the 60s died" in order to prepare for what transpired - how Nixon used us to win in 1972. David Hogg-ish
