MAY 4

On this day in 1970, a sad day in American history, we hit a low point in domestic disturbances related to the Vietnam War.  The Ohio National Guard was sent to Kent State University in Kent, Ohio to control a demonstration.  For some reason, they opened fire on the demonstrators and killed four unarmed students and wounded nine others.

There was no chance that the war would gain favor with the American people after that.  The next three years were solely dedicated to ending the war.  Forty-five years ago today.
