On 01 May 1970, under orders from President Nixon (Commander in Chief) US ground forces entered Cambodia, penetrating approximately 21 miles, for approximately 60 days, in search of COSVN (Central Office South Vietnam-communist headquarters). On 04 May 1970, (another standard routine) protest/riot erupted at Kent State University, state of Ohio. Ohio National Guardsmen arrived, on line, they were face to face with the "students" (protesters/rioters), stones, bricks were thrown at the Guardsmen; Guardsmen opened fire with their M-1 Garand rifles (WWII Rifle) killing four students. Crosby, Stills, and Nash, commemorated the incident with a song, "...Tin Soldiers, and Nixon's bombing...Four dead in Ohio..."
