Its that dreadful anniversary date again. 46 years ago John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated Friday, November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. To this day, conspiracy theories are still abound, with some folks believing that government forces assassinated the President, rather than Lee Harvey Oswald.
Oswald, in turn, was gunned down while in police custody by a small time thug named Jack Ruby. Without Oswald, there was little chance of ever sorting out the truth, despite the formation of the Warren Commission that studied and reported on this American tragedy.
Anyone of the age of reason when JFK was assassinated remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing when they found out about President being shot. No other incident save 9-11 brings about this instant freeze in time in the minds of Americans who are old enough to remember.
Much has happened since that fateful fall day in Dallas. Out of 9 children, only one of the Kennedy clan of that generation survives, Jean Kennedy Smith. Jackie Kennedy is dead. Teddy Kennedy died this past summer. John Junior died in a plane accident in 1999. Caroline and numerous cousins live on.
What do you remember about November 22, 1963? If this date was before your time, what dates do you remember that have been frozen in time. Please share.
