127. I will never forget it.

I was 14, and I remember the the sick feeling I had...

There actually was quite a bit of news coverage about it then. The MSM wouldn't treat this as news today...and if they did, they'd be told to shut up VERY quickly.

There will be no talk of Viet Nam era history these days...it might jog America's memory that Bush was AWOL during that time and Cheney took every deferment he could dream up.

My son is 21, and he knows all about Kent State. He was taught about it in high school history class (his teacher was a Viet Nam vet), but more importantly we talked about it in our home.
