JFK was assassinated on this day in 1963. I was 13.

It was a terrible day.  I recall it well.  A assembly was called and we all heard about this terrible thing.  The teachers were crying and the country was stunned.  I watched the funeral procession on the day of his burial.  It was very traumatic for all.  God Bless his soul and those of his children.  For those that don't recall or were never taught about this man.  Go read this.
He was born three years before my dad and we were all quite upset those dark days.  Burn in hell Lee Harvey Oswald.
