I remember the live feed of Kruschev beating his shoe on the desk at the UN. JFK made statements.
And we had lots of siren practices and emergency signals on TV.
We ate in the basement for 3 days.
we had B-47’s line the runways of the local airport 1.5 miles away. My Dad refused to take me to see the airoplanes because he was afraid of them being bombed while we were there. I said , “So what? If we die, we go to be with Jesus, so, lets go see the airplanes, besides, if they bomb them, we die here anyways.”
“How do you know that?”
I heard them say so on the news, you said we live 1 mile away from the airport, and those bombs destroy everything within 10 -20- miles, so, if we get bombed we die here anyways, so can we go see the airplanes or not?
I was 3 and he was shocked.
