Each year I find it hard to believe what happened in Dallas on 11/22/63. I've watched almost every program, read almost every book on the subject and still can't wrap my brain around it.
I'll never forget the silence that overtook my office when the announcement came that JFK had been shot and later died. I only heard that silence one other time and that was on 911.
My personal belief is that Kennedy was assassinated by the mafia. I believe and always will believe that Oswald was put in that window as a willing patsy to the crime of the century.
No matter who pulled the trigger(s) this country was robbed of one of the best and most well respected leaders of our time.
Our country changed that day. Many citizens from that day forward lost all trust in government. We learned a new political phrase, "cover up".
We lost the mentality of quiet suburban streets and neighborhoods where we trusted others enough to leave our doors unlocked and our kids playing outside until the streetlights came on.
The death of JFK had more impact that most of us will ever know. RIP John F. Kennedy.
