Please. I know it was a long time ago. Many, if not most of you reading this were not even alive then. But we must never forget what happens when a government turns on its own citizens. Don’t let what happened that day pass from our collective memory and become simply an historical footnote.

Yes, there have been other instances. This one hit close to home. Many of my friends from St. Ed’s went to Kent State, and were there that day.

The sight of American soldiers carrying M-1 rifles loaded with live ammo and fixed bayonets confronting college protestors on a college campus still turns my stomach ... 51 years later. It’s impossible to explain what those times were like to someone who didn’t live through it.
