Congratulations.

In March, 1968 I was "up" and hanging around the Armory, waiting deployment to fight floods on the Mississippi. A month later I was "up" as backup for the riots following the murder of MLK. A month after that I was sworn into "up to two years Federal Active Duty" and the unit of the National Guard to which I belonged was shipped to Chu Lai, South Vietnam. After returning I was again "up" following the stupid, unconscionable, shootings at Kent State. As soon as possible thereafter I quit, transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve, and a year later was discharged.

A peaceful demonstration can turn violent by the actions of a very few on either side. If you're not ready to pull the trigger, don't take up the gun.

As they say, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."
