JFK 60

JFK and Jackie 

November 22, 1963 

Sixty years ago today. 

The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 

So many places to find information on the internet about that day. 

From so many different angles too. 

The events of the day before the assassination

The car ride/campaign and the actual assassination. 

The details of what happened in the car and at the hospital. 

The announcement of President Kennedy's death, most notably by Walter Cronkite on CBS News, but many others too. 

The events with Lee Harvey Oswald. 

Then there are the days between the Nov. 22 and Nov. 25, which was the date of the funeral. 

Then the events of the funeral, such as John Jr. saluting his father. 

And so much more. 

Go read and watch about it for yourself. 

I've watched so many things and when I was younger, I read many things on JFK's life and presidency, which include information on his assassination.

There's so much more about what President Kennedy did during his (short) time in office and what he did prior in life in political jobs. 

It's also about the entire Kennedy family. From Jackie to Robert and so many others.

Today is one of those days in US history. One that everyone remembers forever. One, that if you were alive, you know where you were. 

People who were alive then also talk about how that day changed the history of the country. Not just the immediate impact of the President being killed, but so many other things. People who were alive say that America "lost it's innocence" that day. It's also said that both the job of the President and the media were looked at different following that day. 

The media person in me finds the coverage fascinating. Especially how the information was announced on different networks.  

It's been sixty years. But that day is still remembered. He is still remembered. 

That's what a legacy does. That's what a tragedy does. 

It makes us never forget and always remember.
