I remember him. He got the “special” attention because not only was he in uniform but he was also an NCO.
All the younger guys there on our side who had the high and tight haircuts and the regular civilian clothing were active duty military (mostly Marines).
Ahhh...you remember him accurately. I have a picture of him somewhere, mixed in with the anarchist idiots with their home-made riot shields and bandanas around their faces.
THOSE people really do make something boil in me.
