Captured Soldiers
These South Vietnamese soldiers sit on the lawn outside of the presidential palace in Saigon. They were captured and didn’t know what conditions they were to face as prisoners of war.

Many American citizens were opposed to the Vietnam War and took to mass protests to express it. On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on protesters at Kent State University. As a result four students were killed and an additional nine students were injured.
