When I was seven, I met senator John Kennedy at the Colorado democratic convention. I still remember him. He shook hands with my dad, and tapped me on the head, and said, "I have a little blonde girl at home. Her name is Caroline." He asked me my name, and smiled down at me. This was 1960.
That is a great story. Thank you so much for sharing your memories.
Tysm. That story warms my heart. People are so complex-- a mixture of good and bad. I'm so glad to hear a happy anecdote that you will cherish your whole lifetime. God bless you and yours.✨🕯️🕊️✨
Tysm for sharing that sweet anecdote, that you will likely remember your whole lifetime. People are so complex--a mixture of good and bad. I am glad to hear a happy memory about a beloved President, before my time.💐🙏💙 God bless you and yours. . .✨🕊️🕯️✨
Magical, historic.
Tragic
My family was glued to the TV from Friday through Monday....
We watched it all. 😢
I bet. I was too young to remember it. But I do remember Robert Kennedy's death. I remember all the teachers at our school were crying. And they let us out early
Same
We did too! I had turned 11, on the 24 that month!
I was a junior in high school, the announcement told us he was shot, later the principal announced he had died. It was a surreal moment, shock, disbelief. After lunch the district superintendent dismissed all the schools so we could go home and
watch the non-stop coverage on television. The coverage was non stop until after the funeral on Monday.
I was in Fifth Grade and my mom watched all weekend long. She just sat and cried. The days following the funeral were all sad. 😔
Still very sad even after all these years.
Thank you so much for coming by and watching. It is truly appreciated.
53Betsy true
Yes, it still is sad to this day. I remember where I was when we got the word he was shot. I remember the days and his funeral I saw so many grown man cry, I cried until I thought there were no more tears.
agree 100%
Indeed.
I was 21 and my husband ,cousin and I stood on Arlington bridge as his casket and riderless horse passed by. There are tears in my eyes still
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
In 1963, my family immigrated to England from India.We had nothing, not much money, no TV. I heard about the assassination but had never watched footage like this till now. The significance of the man and the assassination dawned on me as I grew older. On this day, the nation came to a halt to honour his life, the President of the United States of America. So sad, so moving. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories.
After all these years this is very sad.
Agreed
Still ..
😢beyond sad and still stings today after all the years! Hope we find out exactly what happened??
This is extremely painful and sad.
I was 8 yrs old when watching the funeral on TV with my family. It was the only time I saw my father crying, and I was so sad about that.
Thank you for watching.
This was the second time I saw daddy cry. He had just lost his nephew at aged 17 a few weeks earlier in a horrific car accident. He cried several times that weekend and the Monday of his funeral which like John-John was my birthday (but I’m Caroline’s age born 1957) sad and tragic days.
Same with me. I was eight years old too. I can remember crying and writing in my little girl diary, asking God why this had to happen, and why he took the good people away. Such a sad, terrible time and the beginning of many of the bad things that were about to happen in our country. 😥🇺🇸
I was 7. The pain on the people’s faces in this video is heartbreaking!
I remember. Never Ave I seen a whole country cry. And when is son saluted his casket, everyone sobbed
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
And that tragic picture of a broken Jackie and her kids on the steps. My heart breaks for her still.
Still is surreal after all these years. I was 12 years old attending parochial school. The principal came to our classroom and informed the class that the president had been shot and being a Catholic school the Dominican nun who was our teacher had the class stand as she lead us in prayers for the president, only to be sent home within the hour after notification of his death. The real shock came Sunday morning as we watched the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, live on television.
Thank you so much for sharing
Absolutely true here too. It was a very sad time. When I went from California to work at the State Department in Washington, I made a visit to JFKs grave. His brother is there too. Watching the changing of the guards at the tombs of the unknown soldiers is a sight to behold. Very overwhelming to see and feel for all of those who have died in service to our country. 💔
I was in 6th grade. Our teacher, visibly upset said all of you need to go home now!
All of America was glued to their TV’s for 3 days! So sad, what could have been !?!?
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories and feedback
Over Thanksgiving
I had a similar experience. I was in the 4th grade in a small Oklahoma town. Our teacher, Mrs. Adams came into the classroom crying & sent us home.
I can barely watch this without all the horrible memories flooding back. It was such an incredibly sad and painful time. He was so loved, young and full of hope for this nation. "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot'.”
It was such a terrible event.
@@GenerationsFoundit was a horrible event… I was in grade school, and very frightened that day. It seem each generation has an event that shatters the confidence that we will go on.
1939 = Pearl Harbor
1985 = Shuttle explosion
2001 = 9/11
So what’s next???
I’m sure other events can be added to the list
@@GenerationsFound i was 10
So was I, 10 years old. It is very sad.
Camelot wasn’t invented to cover up for a horrible marriage they had going. Is assassination turned him into a saint which he was not. He was a womanizer and could be bought if it served his purpose no difference then Clinton.
I’m a 64 year old woman. I was 3 when he died in ‘63. I don’t remember much but my mother screaming they killed the president!!! Everyone was crying and I didn’t understand why. When I was 7 we went to DC, to see all the sights. We went to Arlington National Cemetery. I saw the grave and the eternal flame. We saw the guard marching back and forth. I was told about Kennedy and how someone killed him. It stayed with me all these years. Still very sad how he met his end. I have never seen such complete video of his funeral services and procession. Very touching indeed. Rest in peace Mr President Kennedy.
I'm the same age. I done remember him but Remember Bobby and MLK being shot in 68. I remember my Dad having a picture on the wall for years of JFK and him saying they did it again another Kennedy very sad.
Thank you so much for sharing
I, too, was only 3 years old when President Kennedy was killed. The only memory I have of the funeral is of the flag-draped casket on the wagon. It was a sad, chaotic time.
I, too, was 4 y. o. at the time of JFK’s assassination and funeral. My mother would not let me watch any of it because she feared that all of those news may vastly affect me. I strongly sensed some sadness in the air, but nobody would tell me what actually happened. For many years, I was so deeply upset at my mother because she refused to tell me about this particular incident until I was old enough to understand what actually happened here in America. 🇺🇸 Finally, I came to realize that she was actually doing this type of protection for my own good.
I was 3 days old, but remember well when RFK was assassinated. I heard tons of stories by Mom and Dad about JFK
NO PREZ has been so beloved
I remember this like it was yesterday. My dad died from a heart attack exactly one month prior to JFK’s assassination. I was eleven. We had been let go of school for the funeral of the president to watch it on TV, and while we were not Kennedy supporters, having to watch that funeral and procession ripped open the wound of losing our father who had also been a US army combat vet. The VFW did a three gun salute at the graveside and gave my mom the folded American flag. Every time I hear that salute now I’m brought back to my dad’s grave site.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, memories and watching the video
Condolences 🙏
@@angelmist4253 thank you.
I was 16. This is seared in our memories. We couldn't believe this could happen.
@@sharonallen6608 but you forget the other attempted presidential assassinations. Gerald ford and Ronald Reagan, who almost died btw. I remember that day in 1983 too. And then there was RFK Sr.and rev.Martin Luther king. And teddy Roosevelt, if you want to go back to 1912. His speech papers saved his life.
There was no music. Just the drums. Days of drums.
Thank you for watching.
But Chopin's funeral march is so effective.
That's what I remember as well. Days and days of drums. And the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald live on TV. As an eleven-year old, it was quite shocking and upsetting.
Standing, walking and silent. 🙏🇦🇺 Everyone and Everything just stopped that day. 🇺🇸
Thank you for watching.
I was 4 years old and I remember that day. my tricycle stood still Lin the drive way. You could hear a pin drop in a neighborhood full of kids that couldn't play
I had just turned five when this happened. It was a warm sunny day. My mother said that she and her friends cried their eyes out all weekend.
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
Thank you for posting. I was 12 at the time. Public schools were closed for the funeral, but our Catholic school in Cleveland were in Session. We watched the funeral on a small portable TV that unfortunately had no sound as the teacher left the remote at home.
Thank you so much for sharing
Wow. I didn't know they had remotes back than.
Was it a boarding school? All other schools, public and private, were closed that day as I recall.
I was about to say the same thing. I was the remote until we got a TV with one, which I am pretty sure was in the 70s. I also don’t remember portable TVs (and by portable, I mean a ridiculously heavy thing that wasn’t in a cabinet) until the 70s as well.
@@user-kp8sx1nh1cyes, we didn’t have remotes then. You had to get up to change the channel.
August 2024. Still sad and heartbreaking😢 My soul is hurt and never found the peace. RIP Mr. President ♥️A tremendous loss.
Thank you for watching.
I have a LIFE Magazine that dates back to nov 29 1963 and was paid 0.25 cents that covers everything that happened with photos very graphic😣today's money its worth 180.$ i keep it in a large photo frame on the wall in my living room🤗awesome video thanks for sharing 👍💜
That is so cool. I have seen that Life before. It is great.
On Etsy for less then $4.00
I do too, and a couple of the books The torch has passed.
I saw all of this while it was happening - only difference was none of it was in color because most people back in 1963 had black and white TV's!!!! I was 14 years old in 1963. This film leaves out those haunting drums I can't get out of my head from 61 years ago.
Thank you for watching.
I don’t see this as “rare footage.” I’ve seen all of these images many times before over the past 60+ years.
The funeral march is just as creepy
I was only 4 at the time but for some reason I can remember the drums also! Watching this though I realize that perhaps I must have seen these videos replayed as I cannot believe that I can remember anything of when I was 4.
The haunting sounds of the drums, the horses hooves on the road and the sight of the riderless horse!
It’s such a shame that they killed him!! 😢
@@minniesmomma6374 This is not surprising at all. Studies have shown that most people who were at least 3 years old in 1963 have vivid memory of the JFK assassination.Studies have shown that most people at 3 are aware that there is a larger world out there beyond their daily reality of being 3 years old. It was such a HUGE EVENT; that within an hour of his death, every single man, woman, and child throughout America had been told that the President of the United States had been murdered. I was 8, and can remember the event very clearly. I’m not at all surprised that at 4, you too remember. In fact, I would be shocked if at 4, you could not remember. Those at 4 who cannot remember the JFK assassination, were literally living in LA LA LAND.
As sad as it is, I can’t help but think how different the people were then to those now! Total respect, behavior, dress, demeanor! Today, it would be utter pandemonium, outrageous spectacles! That’s as sad as losing this wonderful man! God Bless him, JFK Jr, Jackie…God protect those remaining, fighting for the country he so loved!
Thank you for your thoughts and memories
I was 12 and attending Catholic school. We were on the playground when the sisters came out to bring us to our classrooms. The news was on with Walter Cronkite and I remember him breaking down as he told America the news. There was silence. We got on the buses to take us home and the whole family sat around the TV WATCHING the next 3 days events. Very sad day for America. It was never the same. I hope it doesn’t happen again.
Thank you so much for sharing
У Америки такого президента больше нет и не будет!
Well, they tried a few weeks ago. Evil people😢
I was in 7th grade math class which was after lunch, when my teacher told us. I was stunned! I had never heard of such a thing except for President Lincoln. This was inconceivable.
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
After all these years.....let them all rest in peace 💔🙏
Thank you for your feedback
agree 100%
What could've been.
Thank you for watching.
Indeed ...
Yes.
I moved to Arlington, VA in 1972 and my office mate’s husband was stationed at Ft. Myer. I was able to attend Black Jack’s (the riderless horse at the funeral) birthday in January. He had his own Carrot Cake. Mrs. Kennedy purchased Black Jack after he retired from service.
Thank you so much for sharing
Great story. Never heard it before. Thank you for sharing that memory
A tragedy for our nation. Even though his personal life was not stellar, he was loved and adored by the people. His charisma reached out and touched everyone. He had the ability to unite our country. No one since has had that magic.
I remember this well. We were glued to the tv from the time I heard of his assination I was 13 years old and in french class. The teacher put the news on in our classroom. We were let home from school early. Watched this unfold the entire time this was televised. It was so sad. We had no computers or cell phones.
Thank you for sharing. I remember Robert Kennedy's death. I was in grade school and all the teachers were crying. They let us go home early.
same here, grade 4, kids were crying, walking home. no fears back then, school was dismissed with very little, if any, plan. Kids just dismissed....walking home, even alone, was common then.
This was the most complete coverage of President Kennedy's funeral.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories
Rest in Peace JFK 🕊️
🌹
Stunning footage.
Great find
November 25, 1963, Monday
The entire country came to a standstill --no school. Time
literally stopped.
I remember watching
every moment that day
on a 19-inch B/W television.
This remarkable footage brought it all
back. What is most
striking here is the
respect for this moment in history.
Added to the sadness --it was John-John's
3rd birthday!
Excellent for being 61 years old now
Such love and respect, sadly that doesn't seem to exist anymore 😔
Thank you for your thoughts and memories.
Thank you very very much for posting this. I was only seven years old and I don’t remember anything about it. The actual day.
Your welcome. Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
I wrote an essay on JFK in high school. Have loved him since. ❤
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
I was 12 when the President was assassinated. I was home sick from school and watching TV when the network broke in with the awful news. Even though I was so young, this President and his family had drawn my attention during the Cuban Missile crisis, and I felt safe after that event with him in office. Just as another commenter here mentioned how the incessant funeral drums became oppressive to him as a child, the same remembrance of wanting to fall over if the drums didn't stop, affected me as well. Awful, awful time.
Thank you for your thoughts, memories, and watching time.
I was 4 when it happened. I remember all of us in our Sunday clothes watching the funeral on tv.
This is a very nice video, very tastefully done. Beautiful music.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories.
@@GenerationsFound you're welcome.
Being the President of the US, he was the Commander in Chief of the US Military. He as well was a WWll hero in the US Navy awarded the Navy and Marine Medal for his actions to save his crew of the PT 109 after a Japanese warship struck the Torpedo boat in the night destroying it on Aug 2 1943. Lieutenant Kennedy got his surviving crew members to safety on an island in Japanese territory nearby and eventually got word to Navy rescue where they were. I understand it was via natives taking a coconut the lieutenant wrote on. I also understand the coconut found it's way back to Lieutenant Kennedy from their rescuers. It was in the Oval Office when Kennedy was President. He received this full military funeral with burial in Arlington after his assassination in office Nov 22 1963.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories and feedback
When I was a kid a few years after the assassination we went to the Movieland Wax Museum and they had an exhibit showing he and members of his crew in the wreckage.
11th grade when it happened. . The immense sadness is etched in my heart. Tears today.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories.
I turned seven the day before the Kennedy assassination. I remember clearly the news coverage and funeral. The next summer we visited Arlington National Cemetery to see his grave.
I was also 7 and my Mum took us to Arlington too. We left roses on Mrs. Kennedys doorstep in Arlington.
Thank you for watching.
Truly dark days, indeed.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories and feedback
I watched all about JFK assassination in YT on 2022 for two months then when I have a business trip to USA I told myself that I will visit JFK burial site. And I did. I can’t explain my feelings then while standing in front of his grave. 😢
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories
Ditch the opening music as it detracts from the film. Silence would be better.
Thank you for your feedback
I turned off the sound. It wasn’t necessary and was too distracting.
The music is beautiful.
I disagree. The music is very appropriate.
The music is tastefully done
I cannot continue. I remember the day all too well. WAtching this brings back the horror.
Thank you for watching and sharing your emotions.
I was only 8 years old and don't remember too much about it. But I remember my Mom was crying while watching it happen on TV. It was a very sad day for AMERICA. The Kennedy family has had so much tragedy in their lives.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories
I was four years old when President Kennedy was killed. I remember I was playing outside and came in for lunch. My mom was sitting at the kitchen counter crying, I asked her why she was crying and she said “The President just died”. I also remember the tv being on all weekend “. Everyone was crying. It really was sad. One of those events you always remember.
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
Seeing the videos of Caroline and John John makes me cry all over again.
Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your memories
I was not born at that time. But it is just amazing how all this video still exists after all these years. Thank you for posting those historical days in 1963, and for future generations to come.
Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your memories
We lost america on thàt day
Thank you for watching.
Now they have a book out trashing jfk. I don't care what they think this man had a heart of gold
@@Astrid-jt8cdanyone doing that has no soul. And one has to wonder about anyone who would want to smear this man.
He wasn't perfect but he WAS a damned good Prez who loved his country and people. No one like him since, in fact downhill since Bobby was murdered
No we didn't, but we came darned close.
i remember watching this, i was 9. my father was crying while viewing this all. i happened to have the TV on when jack ruby shot oswald, live coverage on that....
Thank you so much for sharing
I was 15…wearing a blue jumper my mother had just made. I was in my typing class at Sheldon High School in Eugene, Oregon when the announcement came over the school intercom. It was my mom’s 36th birthday. The birthday cake and gifts were forgotten. My family and I were glued to the tv for the next 4 days. 61 years have gone by but I remember it all!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories
It was John, John’s birthday as well.
I was 9 years old and living on the Air Force base in Glasgow montana…there was a announcement made at school and we went home. as a kid you are trying to understand what the word “assassinate” means, and when we got home, the tv was on and we all sat in front, glued to the tv. My mom and Dad were crying and then the base went on full alert..
It was so sad,and still is..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories
It so sad, how he was murdered. A beautiful ceremony. You did a great job on putting this video together. The music and the piano playing is beautiful. A big thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories
This takes me back when I was 9 years old. The schools were closed and my family and I watched the funeral on TV. Such a sad day it was in our country. May He R.I.P.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories.
Sad and very angry what our government did or had done
Thank you for your thoughts, memories, and watching time.
Unlike my husband (who is ten years older I am) I don’t have one single moment (like remembering where I was) because I was 4 years old. I remember a “feeling” during that time and I vividly remember these images. My parents had a new Curtis Mathes color, console television and this was on for most of the three days. Our neighbors would come to our house to watch. I remember the palpable shock and sorrow. I have more vivid memories of RFK. I was older and he had just been to my community the day before. My Senior class had our prom in the same ballroom that he had made his last speech (before the pantry). I remember the train (and going back to his speech after MLK was assassinated). This video is evocative.
I have vivid memories of RFK too. All our teachers were crying and they let us go home early. Thank you for watching.
I was 10 years old and remember watching this on tv. They sent us home from school
They did the same thing to us when RFK was shot
my little sister was having her 6th birthday
my mom went to pick her up from school and she got into the car, saw my mom crying and asked her why everyone was crying on her birthday
i was 16 and i crumble when i think about those awful days
I’m 73 years old and I remember that day vividly. The schools let out early that day. I remember coming home and my mom was sitting on the couch crying. I walked to my friends house and her parents were also glued to the television. When I came back home my friend was walking with me, we were terrified and we held hands. In our young minds we thought we were going to have a war. My house was so somber and in total grief and disbelief that our President had been assassinated. It seemed like the funeral lasted for a month. It’s one of the terrible events in our history that will be forever etched in our minds.
Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your memories
I was only 7 but I’ll never forget it ! It was shocking ! I remember as a child being so sad for his children ! 💔
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories
One of the SADDEST Days in Americas History!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, memories and watching the video
I was a junior in high school, and we were changing classes from fourth period to fifth period, and there were people whispering “somebody killed the president,” and I heard somebody else say “good, I hate him.” Then I went to study hall and we were listening to the intercom and the teacher was standing under the intercom, looking up at the intercom and suddenly we heard, “ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States is dead” and the teacher gasped. For me, the world was never the same.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories and feedback
Thank you for sharing this.
I was only two yrs old, but it is one of my very first memories, My mother was watching tv, sitting on a couch, crying, showing me a newspaper picture of Kennedy, she was saying something. I ran between her knees to hug her. She was upset, and that portrait of JFK..that's why I remember.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, memories and watching the video
I'm a 70 year old woman, and I was 9 years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard.... I was in 4th grade and our school janitor came in crying to let us know that our beloved President Kennedy had died. My family watched this all on TV, and that's the first time I ever saw my father cry like a baby. Some things remain indelibly etched in your memory, just as 9/11 has done.
Thanks for posting this so many years later. It reminded me of a nation that mourned and came together to pay tribute to this incredible man. Sadly, all these years later, America is no longer that way. 😢💔
Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your memories
MOST OF AMERICANS WERE IN SHOCK
Yep
I was 15 & remember so many of these scenes. Even my mother stopped her housework that day to watch this
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories
I have often wondered why there are no pictures of Aristotle Onassis. He flew Princess Radziwiłł in from London to be there with her sister. He even stayed in the White House.
Interesting
@@GenerationsFound this information is based on oral interviews at the Kennedy Presidential Library. It’s also included in the book “Death of a President “ commissioned by the Kennedy family.
No bells at the lying in State. It was QUIET and very, very solemn.
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
I never went to bed. The TV in the living room and me.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories and feedback
I was in 4th grade.I recall school letting out early. Mom pointed what and where the funeral was happening. She visited Washington DC on a high school class trip in 1949. The sad thing it keeps happening. Family carry the heavy burden of what is continually loss.
i was in grade 4 also, kids were crying at my school from the trauma of hearing JFK was gone....
Thank you so much for sharing
I was 5 years old. I remember sitting on the floor in front of our TV. My mother was in the kitchen crying. Feels just like yesterday.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, memories and watching the video
This is not rare, I saw this footage and more for four days in November 1963.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories and feedback
I agree. It’s a good compilation of footage from that horrific weekend, but it is certainly NOT rare.
I was 12 and attending Catholic school. We were on the playground when the sisters came out to bring us to our classrooms. The news was on with Walter Cronkite and I remember him breaking down as he told America the news. There was silence. We got on the buses to take us home and the whole family sat around the TV WATCHING the next 3 days events. Very sad day for America. It was never the same. I hope it doesn’t happen again. RIP JFK and Bobby Kennedy.
Thank you so much for sharing
A dark time for our nation
It was
we have a general sadness and unrest in the country now which is paralyzing
😢I cry watching as I did at 13.
Thank you for your thoughts and memories.
Yes, never forget. I was 15, it was a Friday and a dance I was supposed to go to was cancelled. We watched TV all weekend.
Thank you for watching
One of the best presidents who ever lived. I remember the principal at school announced his being shot over the intercom. We were all getting ready to go home, it was nearing the end of the school day as I recall. I was 11 yrs. old.
Thank you for putting this video up.
Thank you for sharing your memories and watching
I was 4 when this happened,,my mom told me that many people had cried when this happened to our President,,i don't remember at all when this tragedy happened,,my husband rememberd it he was 11 yrs old,,he told me that alot of people were crying,,very sad day, one day i hope we really find the truth what happened on Nov 1963...RIP Mr. PRESIDENT..❤❤❤
Thank you for your thoughts and memories
I was in the 10th grade when this happened and I cried for days. My whole family was glued to the TV watching everything.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories
It is pretty obvious after all these years that the military industrial complex got him ..... he did not play the game .....
Thank you for watching.
No. He did not.
He also did not want Israel to get nukes

I love Chopin.
I wasnt born yet when he died but my husband turned 3 in december that year. I have watched some of the videos about this and it is so sad. He was so young. Just makes me sad

Oswald was killed on my first birthday. President Kennedy's procession was the day after on my older sister's birthday. Our TV never shut off for days on end and there were so many mail order magazines and books almost right away and for years to come about the assassination in our house. It deeply affected my mother and so it did me also to follow research all my life looking for answers. The pall of sadness and inexplicable loss has never lifted.

Wow! Well done on finding this gem. It is surreal to see this, heart breaking to see the kids and Jackie as well as his brother. I am from England and this was before I was born but I think he was a great man and President, such a waste of a life. RIP JFK.

For three days it felt as if the country stood still.And it did in a way.We were all in shock everyone.When it was announced in my hi school that President Kennedy had been shot and we were told buses were coming to take us home NOT ONE WORD WAS HEARD IN THE HALLS NOR IN THE BUS TRIP HOME.RESPECT was shown by all young and old alike.Tears were running down cheeks and sniffles were all that was heard. Rest in Peace President JFK.😢

It was a sad time for the country. We watched the funeral and saw Oswald get shot. Everything seemed so uncertain back then.

Saddest day in History I had just turned 3 years old that November. I don’t remember it happening. I live in Dallas.

I was six years old, sitting the school office, waiting for my mother to pick me up because I had the measles, on the day President Kennedy was killed.

The music is anmoying. Should here the actual sounds.
Thank you for your feedback
I disagree. The music is somber and respectful. Actual sounds would be distracting.
I was in 8th grade. I remember when it was announced at school. I remember every moment afterward. School was dismissed for several days and my family watched it all on a black and white tv. Everyone was crying. This affected me more than 911. Then the other's that died this way in the years following made for very dark times in the USA!
Thank you so much for sharing
Quite sad. Brings memories surging back. I was there.
The nation was in shock. People crying. King Arthur of Camelot was slain.

I was also 3 years old when this happened. What I remember the most was his son saluting his father.
