May 2016

The actual date is May 4, 1970 - 46 years ago today. I know because it's also my actual b-day. No one ever spoke of it until Linda Ellerbee had the balls to write about it May 4, 1991. I read her article about it in our local paper here in Houston that morning. Those poor kids were shot down like dogs by our own damn military in cold blood, AFAIC And I say this as the child of an ex-National Guardsman. I was devastated when I learned of it and still say a little prayer for them every year on this day. RIP Jeffrey Glenn Miller, Allison B. Krause, William Knox Schroeder and Sandra Lee Scheuer. And Linda, too
