LMAO - that was Great!

I was 6 then, still working off my high of seeing men land on the moon on tv!

[Salamander]

Not only survived it, it freaked me out so much that I totally had NO interest in drugs, booze or ever becoming a “hippy”, myself....:))

At Danang....but at SERE in March of that year.

Woodstock was forty miles from my hometown and all my friends wrote me about it. Lot's of mud and loud noise. I really can't relate.

Thanks for posting a link to that article.

A poignant yet annoying reminder that the cream of American youth gave their lives to save S.E. Asia from what we’ve now got in control of our government.

I had just been discharged from active duty in the Army and was working. I never even heard of Woodstock until much later.

"I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn't work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him; While pussies like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the goddamn Beatle albums! OH....OH......OH!!"

I was in Jr. High. Teachers were making us write letters to Hanoi begging for the release of our servicemen.

I was in one of these:

Headed for one of these:

[Mad Dawg]

Clerking in the cage at Smith Barney, preparing for an allegedly “surprise” audit, saving money to buy my motorcycle.

"I was playing by the outside fire-place with my Tonka’s."

My youngest son went to Woodstock II in '94. He was 23 at the time. Just about the same age as me when the first one took place. In 1999, they held another Woodstock-style festival in Rome, NY, which is where I live. I made sure I left town while it was on.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Probably climbing trees and running wild. I was 8.

[Peter Horry]

I was dressing funny and working on expensive equipment in something that looked a little like this.

[moondoggie]

I was at home tending to my first born son who arrived on the 8th.

[Chief901]

I certainly do remember. EC-121 with VQ-1 Atsugi, Japan.
I was also doing that flying Russian Track missions. 1968-1969.

[Randy Larsen]

At 12 years old?

I was fishing, hunting...and enjoying the good life of a very poor child who didn’t know he was poor!

[wtc911]

I was surfing. There were waves on LI that weekend. Seriously.

[Chief901]

I did my SERE (Navy) at Warner Springs. CA in 1967.
