Was that the day we won World War II or something?

If my memory serves me right, it was Mrs Connally that said it.


went and found a link http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990DE1D91530F932A05753C1A9659C8B63&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/K/Kennedy,%20John%20Fitzgerald


It was an ebullient Mrs. Connally who gushed, ''Mr. President, you certainly can't say that Dallas doesn't love you'' -- perhaps the last words Kennedy ever heard.



Rest In Peace JFK

Let it be said the L.H. Oswald was a Louisiana resident, and not a native Dallasite nor even remotely a Texan.

Nice try though, Mac!

It was a dark day for Dallas just like the rest of the country. I was only 9 but I remember it seemed a very sad time for everyone in area. I lived about 5 miles from the site of the shooting at the time.

I was in 1st grade at a Catholic school. Kennedy being a Catholic was a VERY big deal at the time. I remember a nun bursting into the classroom to announce that the president was shot. We waited for an eternity then we all filed into the church to say the rosary.... the big long one the nuns wore.

I was in Mrs. Bartholomew's 5th grade class when a very white-faced high-school principal, Mr. Bulloch, came through our door and made the announcement that President Kennedy had been killed.


Off all the things that were said immediately after, the only statement that sticks in my mind what that of Mrs. Bartholomew:  "He was so young."






Lee Harvey Oswald...and only Lee Harvey Oswald....shot our President.

Kennedy had his own problems with his administration. Given the choice between him and lbj, I'd rather that it was lbj that had been killed. I really do think that Kennedy would have done less harm to the country than his successor did.

I think we would have been better off if it was Teddy. At least Mary Jo Kopechne's life would have been saved.

Well being that teddy is the poster child for retroactive abortion it goes without saying we would be better off without him at all. I don't believe he was in Dallas at that time though. Pity.

I don't have any idea of what I was doing at the time.   It didn't seem like a big deal to me.

I would have been a lot more upset and probly shed some real tears tho if I had known what LBJ was like and what he had in mind for the country.

Well, I was glad to get a day off from school. A 9 nine year old is hardly going to very sympathetic for someone he knows little about. Still, I definitetly noticed others being impacted by this.

My Mother was around 3 years old at the time.
