That's a good site, but the link needs to have the end quote edited out. Thanks for posting that.

My friend was arrested at Kent State many years later during a peaceful protest demanding that a memorial be built to remember the dead and wounded students. The memorial WAS eventually built.

I put the beginning quote in. Thanks.

At the time it happened, students were not allowed to hold a memorial service.

Allowing a memorial service would have been an acknowledgement that they were students and not enemy combatants...
