I was seven years old on the day JFK was assassinated.

We lived in Brownwood Texas then and I'll never forget that day.

Because that was the day that it seemed like everyone in town was crying.

And I mean everyone, young and old, the B****s, the W****s, the Hispanics we're all crying.

I was in first grade but we left school early that day because all the teachers and even the colored and Hispanic workers were all crying....non stop crying.

So they dismissed us after telling us that our president had been assassinated.

When they first said the word assassinated, many of the kids asked what it meant.

And though I was not familiar with that word at seven years old, when they said it, I knew exactly what they meant.

I got home and my parents were crying and we started crying as they explained to us the details of that horrible day.

I learned to love my country that day.

Because I saw love being displayed in a most poignant manner that day among the people of that wonderful little country town in Texas.

I was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean aboard the USS Oriskany when our Captain announced that our Commander in Chief, John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

You would have liked JFK. Even though he was a democrat.

I was in 9th grade at North Jr. High in Waco, Tx. The city and the people were just as you described 'em.

He wouldn’t recognize today’s Democratic Party and he wouldn’t be accepted by them. He’d be far too conservative.

We once had JFK. Now we have FJB.

True wolf. Even though he was a Democrat, he made todays Republicans look like the far left. He did have the interest of the U.S. at heart and he did love his country. That was really the end of the Democrat party as we knew it at the time and with LBJ it was all downhill after that.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just pulled out of the parking lot after making a delivery
of Lobsters and Clams to one of my restaurant customers. As I turned left, the report from Walter Cronkite
came over the AM radio in my 1960 ford truck. I pulled off to the side of the road and stopped to listen and sat there for a while in disbelief. I remember the feeling of dark gloom that descended over me.

I was sitting at my desk in the third grade. When they announced over the loudspeaker that our President had been assassinated, everyone cried, even the teacher.

JFK would be too conservative for today’s Republican Party, likely too conservative to even be a RINO and definitely too conservative to be a Democrat.
