A 19-year old high school senior in Wakefield, Mass. organizes a "Support Our Man In Vietnam" rally and 25,000 persons show up. Paul Christopher said recent anti-war rallies disturbed him and urged more "support" gatherings by youth across the nation. A massive crowd assembles in a park. American flags, signs and banners. The organizer takes to the stage. Soldiers flank the stairs. People have climbed a tree to get a better view. Lots of flag waving. Pro-war supporters.
