This very scarce pin was issued and sold in 1968 to raise funds and support for ending the war in Viet Nam. The pin sarcastically promotes President Lyndon Johnson and Richard Speck, both mass murderers, as presidential candidates. Richard Speck slaughtered eight student nurses in 1966. President Johnson was responsible for the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of Vietnamese civilians (including women, children and babies), from 1963 through 1968 including, but in no way limited to, the My Lai Massacre. The words at the top of the pin, "BORN TO RAISE HELL," were tattooed on one of Richard Speck's forearms. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The My Lai massacre was a war crime committed by United States Army personnel on 16 March 1968, involving the mass murder of unarmed civilians in Sơn Tịnh district, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. Between 347 and 504 civilians were killed by U.S. soldiers from Company C, 23rd (Americal) Infantry Division. Victims included men, women, children, and infants. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated, and some soldiers mutilated and raped children who were as young as 12. It is the largest publicized massacre of civilians by U.S. forces in the 20th century.
