Nadman, I don't know why people complain about the questions in this game. Not a single one of us has a gun to our heads forcing us to play. Don't like it, find a different trivia game!

It was on TV when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald while he was being moved. Back then security wasn't held in such high regard. I watched this live. At the time I thought how good he killed LHO. Later as I grew up I realized the void history would forever have because of this killing. Who knows what he could have told us.

Although it happened before my time. When I am reminded of the assassination of JFK the most poignant memory for me is the image of his little boy saluting his dad's coffin. RIP

I remember my first grade teacher coming into the classroom crying and telling us that President Kennedy had been shot. Then dismissing all students home. The ominous somberness of the entire country felt unreal.

I remember that so well because they showed it on TV especially the funeral I was a child in elementary school when it happened and I'm 62 years old now and I still remember it when November 25th comes

So many questions are still unanswered ..... who really killed JFK?

InfamousPossum9129, I was in 11th grade - American History class - the school principal announced it over the PA system and dismissed everyone to go home. Everyone in the halls was crying. We watched TV for 4 days - all the coverage leading up to the funeral - and cried a lot.

I remember it well. Such a sad day.

Hammer, people are given free choice. God did not ‘let’ it happen. A person decided to use his free choice.

Player #1443092, Not an easy thing to forget. I was looking out the window at school when I heard the news. I think everyone remembers where they were at that time, just like when the World Trade Center was hit.
Mel
I REMEMBER THAT DAY, WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED TO OUR CLASS THAT JFK WAS SHOT ALL US GIRLS WENT TO THE RESTRIOM AND CRIED

Lorraine4748, Yes, I am your age and remember leaving school early and everyone crying. I was wearing a colorful sweater and skirt and wished I could disappear. Yes the family never left the TV for days!

Yeah, and the troup involvement in Vietnam TRIPLED within a few days.
Monica
InfamousPossum9129, I wasn't alive yet, but it was my parents' 5th anniversary. They're still together, and that's how I'll always remember the date of Kennedy's assassination.

I remember the day. I was in 7th grade, and I was the watering the plants when we got the news over the loud speaker. Time stood still.

There are shocking similarities between the death of J.F.K. in Dallas and The Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, both were warned not to ride in an open car, both couples did; they were also warned not to visit the cities they did at the particular time. Of course the rest is history. One note: Jackie Kennedy did NOT want to ride in an open car because she didn't want her hair messed up by the time they got to the luncheon: vanity could have saved J.F. K.'s life !! ( She wanted the bubble top on the car, so people could've still seen them anyways.)
Leon
and how many eyewitnesses died after Kennedy?
Player #83925953
Very few people that was alive, at the time, can forget what happened on 11/23/63. I was in school and our teacher, Mr. Harris, had the radio on when we heard the news. No TV in classroom in this small town school. Even as a child, I knew that our life would never be the same again.

Okie Razorback, Except George Bush.

George Bush was the only person probably in America that did not know where he was when he first heard about Kennedy’s assassination.
Joann
Toots, no he was not. John Kennedy Jr was born on November 25th. His dad was born on May 29th
Joann
Frank Zappa, I agree 100%
Joann
Duneboy, 9/11 did not affect me as badly as Pres. Kennedy's assassination. We lost most of our leaders in the 60s. Bobby,Dr.King,Malcom X. Wonder why?
Joann
Player Elf Counsel, I think Oswald was a scapegoat.
Joann
NickieBags, our government
Joann
DistressedHunter8576, I believe our government had him assassinated. Hoover did not like him. He was involved with trying to get the nation integrated so the white racists did not like him. Jan,6 showed us what they are capable of.
Sherry
I knew this one simply because it occurred on my 11th birthday. That was the saddest birthday I ever had in Chicago , I'll.
Mariposa
Player #1443092, if you are 62 you were 4 years old, in elementary school?
Cizinka
will never forget this day.

I am enjoying this game.It reminds me that my brain s are still working.
Popka Durak
I thought of all the comments describing how the entire country was in shock over the killing and it occurred to me that if this were to happen today to any president, half the country would be celebrating. How low we have fallen....

It was the mob I'm telling you people's!😒

I was in the supermarket parking lot when I heard the news on the car radio. I couldn't believe it, so I ran into the market and asked everyone if it was true, but they hadn't heard about it yet and told me I must be mistaken. Like everyone else, I spent the next 4 days glued to the tv, crying. They played Samuel Barber's beautiful, "Adagio for Strings" and to this day I cannot hear it without mourning a little.
