14. I remember the day President Kennedy was assassinated....

Fri Sep 5, 2025, 12:20 AM

Friday

I was a young lad, playing on the kitchen table and I heard my mother crying in the living room...
I went in and she was watching the black and white tv, and they were showing what happened...
all the chaos, as the news kept breaking, she sat there crying because of a man they saw as an honorable man.
As the days past after that, when the funeral was televised, our whole nation mourned.
I can remember seeing both mom and dad watching the funeral... I can picture them in their favorite chairs, watching tv, and crying.... That is what I remember of the Kennedy Family, the grace and honesty, service to country, and giving one's life for it, is now, sadly, is being tarnished by a family member now...
