My dad was in elementary school when this happened, and everyone received a prayer card for JFK, as he was the first Catholic president and it was a Catholic school. He still has it somewhere. There was pre-JFK and post-JFK, then there was pre-9/11 and post-9/11. The world would be so different now (maybe no 9/11, maybe no crazy conspiracy theories about tragedies, maybe we would still have faith in and trust our government) if John Fitzgerald Kennedy had not been killed.

[@raulmacias6146]

I was in first grade at San Fernando Elementary School in San Fernando, California on November 22,1963. President Kennedy's color portrait was displayed on the walls of the school rooms. As a boy, I was mesmerized by our Beloved President John F. Kennedy. We were so proud of him. I'm 65 years old now and the shocking memory of his assassination is seared in my mind and will be so until I pass on. REST IN ETERNAL PEACE ~ PRESIDENT JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY.

I was in middle school and it did something to me about such a cruel thing to happen. Then MLK and Bobby. I was a crazy time But I think now is more crazy than ever people worship trump a criminal vulgar man who doesn't even know how the government works. I love Bobby Jr but he has to many conspiracy theories for me and I worry he will split the Biden vote and the monster will get back in office. He deserves prison and I believe if it doesn't happen worse people will continue to interfere with our government from working properly God help us to open our eyes to truth.

As a millennial in my late 20s, a part of me envies the boomers for being able to live through so many iconic social, political, and economic events. The birth of rock n roll and its worldwide conquest in the 60s and 70s of the music charts with the Beatles/Led Zeppelin; seeing the Cold War end as peaceful as it could have with fall of Berlin Wall and reunification; rise of Reagan; rise of Kennedy. You guys got a very compelling story in world history; desegregation, expanding voting laws, relaxation of stringent sexual norms via the sexual revolution; the decriminalization of public expressions of homosexual affection; etc. Of course “my time” now is compelling but I’m a way different way via the division of the liberals and conservatives and a war in Ukraine with accompanying double digit inflation. I love modern technology, but I’d give it all up to be born in 55 or 1960 to see all the changes you went through first hand. Boomers may be old in some young peoples eyes, but modern America is founded on your sacrifice and critical thinking to question the governements authority. Everything from computers, to self improvement with lifting weights, to promulgating woman’s rights to work (if they want to) all started with the boomers.

[@TetsuShima]

Speaking of the assassination of JFK, there is a really good novel written by Stephen King called 11/22/63, which was adapted into a miniseries in 2016. This novel is about a man from the present day (played by James Franco in the miniseries) who uses a portal that takes him to 1960, being his mission to prevent the assassination of JFK and the entry of the USA into the Vietnam war. It is really curious to see the way in which he gradually adapts to the simple times of the 60s, not to mention that the story also features characters from other works of King, such as the children of IT and the Antichrist Randall Flagg, the main antagonist of The Stand and the Dark Tower franchise. The most curious thing here is that the idea of writing a story in which a time traveler tries to prevent the assassination of JFK comes from a casual dialogue from the horrible miniseries that King made in the nineties called "The Langoliers"

He had to. When the Captain of a ship is lost the First Mate has to run the ship and make sure the rest of the crew makes it. He had to say that for the country. If we didn’t move forward in the Cold War the russians would’ve exploited that tragedy for their own gain. He had to take command because at the time no one knew if Oswald was a lone nut or had bigger fish behind him. Oswald was like every assassin besides Booth, a loner and a failure at everything he did.

My mother was pregnant with me when JFK was assassinated. I was born about 2-1/2 months later in February and for some reason I have had a great interest in his life and death story. I was also born and raised in Boston and now live on Cape Cod but I don't really think this has too much to do with my interest in JFK and his family. There is definitely something about him that draws you in or is compelling. Maybe it was camelot or maybe it was that he was much more than a handsome son from a very wealthy and privileged family. He was also very smart, well read, had great sense of humor and knowledge of history and he was human with some of the same faults and short comings that many of us also have. It's also very sad how he died at such a young age with such a young family and even though the real truth is out there, in the many books and documentaries that have been written and told as to who was really behind killing this man, I hope some day the truth is officially and unequivically on record and let the chips fall where they may. Edit: I wrote the above comment before watching this video. I can't believe who they chose to comment in this video. There had to be better choices than Nancy Pelosi. LBJ was at least aware if not a part of the assassination of John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and was most likely part of the coverup. LBJ was one of the most corrupt Presidents we ever had.

@@hellentatsios7888 incorrect again, Oswald acted alone. - - The term military-industrial complex was first used by U.S. Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower in his Farewell Address on January 17, 1961. Eisenhower warned that the United States must “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence…by the military-industrial complex,” which included members of Congress from districts dependent on military industries, the Department of Defense (along with the military services), and privately owned military contractors-e.g., Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. Eisenhower believed that the military-industrial complex tended to promote policies that might not be in the country’s best interest (such as participation in the nuclear arms race), and he feared that its growing influence, if left unchecked, could undermine American democracy.

Technically, you can. (12:10) It was actually Senator Yarborough from Texas, who first referenced Camelot when he described in his announcement of President Kennedy's death that "Excaliber has sunk beneath the waves." Jackie took that allusion, and then expounded upon it.

[@W.Stryker]

My mom and dad were in school that day when they heard the announcement. Both of my uncles were in the United States Marine Corp. both were advisors in the early stages of Vietnam when they heard. Both my uncles survived Vietnam. And both of them have said they think the only reason Kennedy was assassinated, was because he saw the writing on the wall with Vietnam, and they both believe JFK was trying to get us out of Vietnam. And save face from that quagmire. And let’s be realistic. He was the last democrat who actually loved America. Which is more then I can say about democrats this day in age. And for the record.

No question Jack Kennedy was a good President and I’m a conservative Republican. I also think had Robert Kennedy been elected as President, he would have made an excellent President. I have my doubts about Ted Kennedy, I’m not sure he would have been as successful. Thankfully Ted Kennedy served as Senator for I believe over 40 years. Ted Kennedy was a remarkable politician and over the course of his career he made countless accomplishments. I didn’t agree with everything Ted did. But to his credit he was able to work with Republicans to pass very important bills for the better good of our country. Ted worked well with Ronald Reagan and also George W Bush. Ted also forged good relations with Oran Hatch the Republican senator from Utah and many other people from across the aisle on the Republican side. Ted clearly did not like Jimmy Carter and that became plain to see. Upon Teddy’s passing, I was sorry to hear about it. He sure left an exceptional Legacy.
