Nichael Nutt 1946 - ____ The Deseret News - Jul 5, 1966: NATION OF CARD BURNERS -- Ask a sailor on leave from Viet Nam what's been going on in the United States and he will probably tell you "draftcard burning and flying saucer scares." This was the response of Airman Apprentice Michael Nutt, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C Nutt, 411 E. 17th South. Michael is in the country for six months while the ship. Enterprise, is repaired in Alameda, Calif. "It's really disgusting to read about all the card burners," he said. "But we see in Stars and Stripes (military newspaper) that it happens often." Michael says the South Vietnamese are happy —- but wary -- to have Aemrican protection. "They don't know what will happen to them if we pull out," he said. "They don't know when the fighting is going to end or who will be on the winning side when it does. "There's a lot of work, but I'm proud of what we're doing. I would rathe be in Viet Nam where the action is than here at home where there's nothing we can do," he said. Over there. he continued, it is easy to wonder if the work is worth the effort. Soldiers don't think about the glory. To them, fighting is hard work which everyone tries to do the best he can. "But now I’m home, I can see what we're fighting for." What does a sailor miss most about home? Sleep, homemade cookies, milk, and hamburgers -- that order. And mountains (Viet Nam is all water and jungle); civilian clothes and mail. "Everytime there was a mail call, everyone ran up to see if he got a letter. It didn't matter who it was from -- just a letter," Michael said.
