Army Times
This was a very interesting assignment.  We were the first on the streets of DC during the riots when much of H Street was burnt.  Then we were first on the streets for the second riots, less burning but still exciting.  I got to patrol with the police.  Some woman caught her husband cheating on her and blew him away with a shotgun, for a moment we thought we were under fire but the police came and took control. 

January 1969 we were assigned security duty for Nixon's inaugration, I froze my butt off, man it was cold that winter.
