title: Bryan Shaul, Kent State Massacre: The Day the War Came Home

description: [profile bio] Bryan Shaul was born in Northampton, Massachusetts and grew up in a small farming community southwest of Mansfield, Ohio. He attended Northwestern University as a journalism major, but lost focus and dropped out in his second year. When he returned home, he supported himself by booking local rock bands with one of his high school friends. With the Vietnam War ramping up it was not a good time to be male, single and self-employed. Bryan decided to return to college joining many kindred spirits seeking to get a II-S draft deferment. With some experience running his own business, Bryan decided to major in accounting. Bryan chose Kent State University because, at that time, Kent had a respectable accounting program. This time Bryan would have to pay the bills for his education. He was able to convince the administration at Kent State administration that he could attend undergraduate school while functioning as a grad counselor in one of the dorms. Grad counselors received free room and board and a private suite. Bryan received his undergraduate degree a year after the shootings. Recently, Bryan retired and now divides his time between a cabin on the lake in Cascade, Idaho and a condo on Main Street in Huntington Beach.

title: Leo Solis, My Body Is My Evidence

description: [profile bio] Leo Solis was drafted into the Army in 1968 and during his time in the Army he was wounded several times, his platoon-mates dubbing him ""Tin Can"" because of it. He was temporarily paralyzed from his injuries, earning him a medical discharge from the Army in 1969. Within a year, and with lots of rehabilitation, he was walking again. Within that year, however, the Department of Veterans Affairs demanded that he return to get his disability (which had previously been put at 50%) reevaluated to make sure that he was not ""scamming the government."" This reevaluation reduced his benefits by 10%, making him feel wronged, and so he never wanted to be treated at the Veterans Affairs Facility ever again. Mr. Solis has worked his way up in the ranks of physical special effects and currently has his own special effects rental business. He has worked on such wide-ranging films as Pirates of the Carribbean and Inception. A link to his work is below: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0813105/ The nature of his work has made it difficult for him to function with the lasting effects of his injuries, namely the malformation of his leg, where his calf has almost completely atrophied. Mr. Solis lives in Granada Hills, California near his family and still works in the special effects business, creating explosions, rain, snow, hail, gunfire, you name it. He does not see his experience in Vietnam as one that drastically changed him emotionally, but physically it has forever left its impact.
