I was twelve years old and in the seventh grade. I was in band practice when someone from the office came in and told Mr. Wiggenbottom (always giggled behind his back about his name, I remember him as a really nice man)...but, he was told, and then we all went back to our rooms. Sat at our desks....wasn’t too long til usual bell. Then I walked home.
I remember my mom crying. Our family was military and definitely Republican, but he was OUR president, and we cried. Then, for several days, a haze of tv....lying on the floor and watching tv. That’s when I became a news junkie, I think, during those days and weeks after Kennedy was murdered. So long ago....and I still remember all the details.

I was out in the car, with talk radio on, when I heard the stunning news. I had to stop at a store on the way home and the fact that people were chatting and talking amazed me .Didn’t they know??!! When I got home, I raced to the radio to listen ——— and FORGOT to turn the TV on!

"My mom remembers Pearl Harbor. Its burned in her mind...My kids will never forget 9-11." The first such day of my life was January 28, 1986 when the Challenger exploded.

Where did that thing come from? If that "thing" is the UZI, it was in a briefcase. Wider angle shots of that scene showed the open briefcase(s) on the ground.

Sitting in Sister Mary Karen's 6th grade class when Sister Elizabeth came on the loudspeaker and said President Kennedy had been shot.
Could hear little girls screaming all over the building.

I was alive and thinking all day "Only another month and I'm blowing this joint"
Come Christmas-time and my parents had their first child....

“Terror is not a new weapon.
Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail,
either by persuasion or example.
But inevitably they fail,
either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living,
or because the terrorists themselves came to realize
that free men cannot be frightened by threats,
and that aggression would meet its own response.
And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know,
be he friend or foe,
that the United States has both the will and the weapons
to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities.”

Anticommunist and not afraid to use troops for Americas national interest I think there are a few thousand Cubans who were on a beach in southern Cuba in April of 1961 who would disagree with that statement.....

JFK was a liberal Democrat and an icon to lefties everywhere. His assassination made him a martyr.
If JFK had lived, he would have been no different then his brothers, RFK and Fat TeddyK!

Remembering that fateful day when Dan Rather rose to prominence for jumping the gun and taking a leap of faith to declare that JFK had died. That was based on the reports he got from CBS affiliate KRLD reporter Eddie Barker. Barker was the first to say that the President was dead.
