Vintage Hobo Day

Re: Vintage Hobo Day

Excellent post Nidaros. Lots of ROTC men served with distinction in our Armed Forces and probably were not worried about dodging Hobo Day bullets, but maybe real ones in Korea and Vietnam later. The great Omar Bradley has a history with SDSU ROTC.

Also a Brookings kid named DuPuy was involved big time in planning Viet Nam war strategy. I know he had two stars as a General maybe one more.

How about the soldier in the front row wearing his helmet? Seems a it over the top. I love looking at pictures like these.

I suppose that was his job, but he seems to be enjoying the day. As I recall Old State Field USD stayed on their side in the south stands. It would have taken a cannon to get a frozen rabbit into the student section on the north west side. Our ROTC cadet was prepared wearing a helmet something our cheerleaders of the 1970's should have worn.
