I remember I was in school and there was a rumor going around that he was killed.  I remember walking out of school for the day and looking at the American Flag in front of the school.  It was flying at half mast and I knew it was not a rumor.

Well we were about 20 miles from home. Was bringing my second son home from the hospital. He was born Nov. 20th 1963.So was a happy day and a sad day all at one time. What a shame. Too bad obama couldn't be more like JFK .

I was only 3 years old at the time. I don't really remember.Sometimes I wish I did remember

I was sitting in the high school library when they announced it. What a sad day that was.

And there are still many unclassified documents regarding the incident. It would be nice to have all the information uncovered once and for all.

I am interested in all the conspiracy theories, etc. I personally think that the Mafia had a great deal to do with it. Just my opinion from what I've heard in the news and other commentaries.

I was to young to remember when it happened, but I have read so much about this event to come to my own conclusions. The JFK assassination was definitely a conspiracy. I do not believe that JFK was killed by a lone gunman.

I was 2 years old.  I remember exactly where I was at.
We were at my Aunt's house with my Mom and her sisters and my great Aunt.
They were crying and very upset.  For many years, I thought the President
getting shot was my fault.  I guess cause everyone was so upset.
I remember all us kids had to sit on the couch.

The Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy was a tragic day in american history. I was only 5 months old at the time and I still try to find out as much as I can about his death. Had to be a conspiracy.

I wasn't born yet. But a few years ago On Demand had this 2 hour documentary about him. Leading up to his assassination and, I had never seen the footage of him being killed before watching that. It was very sad, everyone seemed so happy that day.

[skrogman]

I wasn't born yet, either.  I did come around until '70.  I only remember the day Reagan was shot.

i was not born yet but I can imagine how many in this country felt when it happened. He was a very much loved charismatic president. Watching the film coverage of when he was shot is still shocking. He and his wife and the crowds were all so happy. It was unexpected.
