" I wanted them to see what they did to Jack." She didn't even bother to wash her face or wipe off her dress. That is one brave woman.

I am now 81 years old and I have a lot of pride and proud of being able to attend his funeral for a one-in-a-million leader of wisdom

This country changed forever the moment he was assassinated and never has recovered.

JFK was my grandmas favorite president, he died on her 16th birthday, November 22

Until I heard this video's narration in unision with a photo of Jack Kennedy standing next to Lyndon Johnson on a plane, I never understood the tacit eloquence of her statement. Thanks to Miss Jacky Kennedy, her relatives, and the Kennedy family for having helped instill calm and diplomacy during the after math of John F. Kennedy's assination.

I was born in 1962, so I was only 18 months old when the assassination happened. I was pretty young when I found a book my parents had gotten to his memory after his death. Any time I had an opportunity, I would get that book out and and study it. I don't know why, but I was drawn to him. I still am.

My mom says she only day that compares to JFK's assassination day was 9-11

Grandma cried for days after we lost John F. Kennedy

A certain segment of America wouldn’t accept a more free, equal and just America which is still evident today.

My dad was in elementary school when this happened, and everyone received a prayer card for JFK, as he was the first Catholic president and it was a Catholic school. He still has it somewhere.

There was pre-JFK and post-JFK, then there was pre-9/11 and post-9/11. The world would be so different now (maybe no 9/11, maybe no crazy conspiracy theories about tragedies, maybe we would still have faith in and trust our government) if John Fitzgerald Kennedy had not been killed.

I was born in the 70s well after this part of our history. As a child my family went to Washington DC several times until we saw everything that's there, mainly the museums. I don't remember much of our trips there however one of the things that stuck with me I can't seem to forget is visiting Kennedy's grave. Even in death he has an amazing presence.

I was 8 yrs old when I learnt that JFK had been killed, I am an Aussie ,and I didn't know about world politics, but I feel a deep and unexplainable sadness that day
