The day that altered history

(image courtesy of Google)

I don't remember a lot about November 22nd 1963 but I do remember one thing that will forever stand out in my mind.

We were living on a Navy base in southern California and we were let out of school early that day, when I got home my mother was sitting in our tiny Navy housing living room crying in front of the RCA black & white TV. Little did I know at such a young age how history had been forever altered and the sadness of that day would change the sweet innocence we knew...


Do you have a significant memory of that day in history? If so, I'd love for you to share as your day is as much a part of history as that moment in Dallas, Texas 1963...

  1. Your flag photo is very haunting. I remember that dark day well, and then when his brother Robert Kennedy and then Rev. Martin Luther King were killed too, it hit me like a triple whammy. I very much admired those 3 men.

  3. I so remember that day- so sad - it forever altered our innocence- and I believe it had a lot to do with the uprisings of the 60's. We were people with causes and I believe it started the day JFK died...and then to lose Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy just made it all the worse- xo Diana

  4. I agree Diana, I just watched a program about that very thought; America changed after November 22nd and even though I was only 6 years old the memory of that day will live with me forever...
