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...

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.
ReplyDeleteTerra, I couldn't agree with you more and remember each day like it was yesterday...
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my friend!

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
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteI was in college(telling my age). I will never forget that day and the few sad days that followed.
ReplyDeleteTerry, just thinking about you today...hope you are doing well! XO
ReplyDeleteAs you know Susan, its taken me a bit to get back into La Bella Vie. So happy you stopped by my friend! Will be swinging by later on to see you!
