"On this day in 1972 Nixon halted the bombing of North Vietnam. I was there."

Yes, I was not there, being a iggerent 2S student, but I well remember, after the bombing ended, the treaty signing, the occupying armies, then the victory parades across the country, welcoming home our military, and how since then SVN joined S Korea as a powerful showcase for liberty and free enterprise.

Made a young man so proud to be an American.

Especially when they hung Jane Fonda. That was impressive. I was disappointed by Agnew's 2nd term administration, though.

I'd hate to live in some alternative universe where things went differently.
