Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Remembering those four students shot dead and nine others wounded when Ohio National
Guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds.Two of the four students killed, Allison Krause and Jeffrey Miller were participating in a protest against the American invasion of Cambodia. The other two, Sandra Scheuer and William Knox Schroeder had been walking from one class to the next at the time of their deaths. Schroeder in fact was a member of the campus ROTC chapter.
As teenager when this happened, I recall this tragedy vividly. It was, and remains difficult to comprehend.
