One of the most iconic photos in American history was taken 51 years ago on May 4, 1970.
It was the day when armed National Guard troops were called to confront unarmed college students at a peaceful anti-Vietnam War protest at Kent State University in Ohio.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I saw a documentary on David Crosby and he was touring the museum at Kent State. His concerns were regarding the fact no National Guard Soldier was charged with any of these shootings. There are photos which clearly show who fired the ‘kill shots’. There was also questions regarding the ammunition used by the NG Troops as it wasn’t Military issue. Just thought I’d add this information. It was a tragic day in Our Country and senseless loss of life imho
