I'm off today and watching all the specials. Interesting stuff.
I was only 3 that day, so no "where were you on that day?" for me

as I`m a bit older (I had turned 20 at that time) ....I have no idea...I was in the military in Sweden at the time...And when this happened that year , for me it was obvious as it was the Russians being involved , as they didn’t like the outcome of Kennedy/Cuba problems.....and as everything we did in the Swedish military was train to defend the EAST of the country, my mind was ‘trained’ on Russia....and of course Oswald had some Russian ties...
Me too. Grew up in an L.A. suburb so it was close.
It was one of maybe a half dozen times my parents moved a TV to the family room so we watch the coverage. As kids, we were not allowed to watch TV during dinner and there was no set in the family room/kitchen area.

High school freshman shooting buckets in the gym during lunch break when the principal announced it over the p.a. system. Still remember the cracking of his voice. Pretty much glued to the tv from then until after the funeral.
I truly believe that I never would have gone to Vier-Nam if Kennedy would not have been killed.
