Case

Sentence: Listed in custody at Portsmouth Naval Correctional Institution, New Hampshire in the combined May–June–July–August 1969 issue and September–October 1969. Exact individual sentence, actual duration and entry/release dates remain unverified. Robert S. Vogel, writing for Friends Journal on April 1, 1969 (printed page 215), identifies Blanton as a Marine who sought support from Orange Grove Friends Meeting and was subsequently arrested outside the Resistance House in San Diego. The report does not give the arrest day, a court-martial judgment or a release date.

No exact transfer date to the later-listed Portsmouth institution is established. Source: https://vva.vietnam.ttu.edu/images.php?img=%2Fimages%2F1451%2F14511004038.pdf#page=4
