Hashknife Cowboy Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I was in 1st grade and remember the teachers crying, I think it was the 1st time I remember being really scared and confused. Today I teach in a criminal justice program at a college level and we dedicate 2 class periods to dissecting the murder of our president from a forensic perspective. History must be remembered and re-examined objectively. Don’t think for one moment a 19 year old cannot think critically and read between the lines.

Cypress Sun Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I was too young to remember the day. All I remember from '62/63 is the constant sonic boom of the USAF jets during and after the Cuban missile crisis. I have since studied the assassination in depth and have not come to the same conclusion as the Warren Commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I was in the 3rd grade in Minatare, Nebraska playing football on the playground, it was lunchtime. We were all called back into the cafeteria where the announcement was made. Then we were all sent home. I remember watching tv at home with my family as Oswald got shot a few days later.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 America changed that day. Before it seemed we couldn't do anything wrong. Ever since then it seems we can't do anything right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I have often wondered what this country would be like had President Kennedy not been assassinated. I am sure that sonofab**** Lyndon Johnson wouldn’t have been able to do what he did in regards to Vietnam. It’s too bad he wasn’t the one that was shot.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Interesting theory, but there were a lot more people than just Johnson who foolishly thought we could just walk into Vietnam and clean house. Perhaps that was the mindset that truly died with Kennedy... that we as a country are infallible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
