Jack and Jackie, Nov. 22, 1963: Forever Young

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a date so shocking that none of us who lived through that terrible day can ever forget it.

I can remember school being dismissed early, my mother crying, and all of us watching more TV that  weekend than we had ever watched in my life. We lived in JFK's home state of Massachusetts, so the loss was even more personal. The assassination of the assassin on live TV was unbelievable too, and the procession of world leaders, John-John saluting, and Jackie's strength were just some of the things we will never forget. The whole world watched and grieved together.

Like 9/11/2001 and 10/7/2023, the date 11/22/63 is one we will always remember.
