Something those of us who were old enough to remember will never forget. God forbid this ever happens again.
God Bless the USA!
Amen. My family were Nixon supporters, but we mourned along with the nation when JFK was assassinated. It was horrible for his family, and it was horrible for our nation.
I was still in highschool. Our school librarian came to the door of our classroom and called the English teacher outside the door to tell her that all classes were being cancelled because of the death of the President.
We lived one block from the school, and I walked home practically in shock. Mother was watching the coverage on television. We all sat glued to the television set...saw Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald...all events through the funeral and afterward.
One thing I noticed then that hasn’t changed - the immediate speculation was that the evil deed was “a vast right-wing conspiracy”, and it turned out to be a leftist job. If Oswald hadn’t had irrefutable connections with the Soviet Union, I have no doubt he would have been painted a right-winger.
