To: Rodney King

This picture is from 1969.
I remember it well.
Almost surreal to think about it now.
Your fate was determined by some suit picking a numbered

This picture is from 1969.I remember it well.

I remember it well myself.I read my number (327) in the Louisville Courier Journal as I sat on my foot locker at Fort Knox,KY having just completed my 3rd week of BCT.

I cried myself to sleep that night because the only reason I joined was because I assumed that I'd be drafted.
