The Importance of Dr. King in the Civil Rights Movement

My father was a CV in World War II, but men weren't allowed to fight. He worked with Dr. King on the Civil Rights March and continued to work with him after his uncle was killed at Sazenade in 1963. My dad refused to send combat troops to Vietnam; he sent green berets to advise the Vietnamese,. A month before he died, he asked for a casualty report and his aid brought him the report and showed that 75 Americans had died. And he signed that day, National Security Order 263, ordering all troops home from Vietnam. The first thousand coming home in December, this was October. A month later he was killed. It then became an American war.
