What major historical events do you remember?
I remember
The day John F Kennedy died…Martin and Bobby too
I remember
The night the Beatles came to America on the Ed Sullivan show
I remember
the first measles and polio vaccines
I remember
the moonwalk…and years later watching the Challenger burst into flames
I remember
Vietnam…the draft, and the day my best friend’s brother died
I remember 9/11, January 6th, and the night of the 2024 election
I will never forget
The hell on earth that Donald Trump has inflicted…the pain, the cruelty, the hate…
I will never forget the day he took a wrecking ball to the people’s house…that was the day my heart broke

I remember I was listening to Radio Luxembourg when JFK was shot. They were the first to broadcast the information in Europe.

I was sitting in my 2nd grade classroom when our teacher was called to the door of our classroom, given the news, and broke down in tears. We were sent home early that day.

I remember these too Kat.
I was listening to Radio Luxembourg when they announced that Elvis had died. All adverts tg
stopped and it was nothing but his songs.
