Decorated Vietnam Vet Walks On His Knees To Protest The Vietnam War

I was a cameraman shooting 16mm film in May ,1970 at this Vietnam antiwar protest taking place in Washington DC around the White House. I was not the director or editor of this scene. This was a very large war protest. Many Vietnam veterans participated in the march and this clip shows a decorated combat veteran who was walking on his knees to protest the war. It was quite dramatic and gives you a feeling for the intensity of a crowd. This march took place a week after the Kent State shootings, and 100,000 demonstrators converged on Washington to protest the shootings and President Richard Nixon’s incursion into Cambodia. After the march, a few hundred militants spread through surrounding streets, causing limited damage. Police attacked the most threatening crowds (as I remember, these were Black Panther Party protesters) with tear gas and made a number of arrests.
