I vistited the museum and Dealey Plaza in March, 2011. It was an awesome experience to see where such an historical event took place. It's amazing that the plaza looks pretty much like it did in 1963.

I was not yet born, not until 1966,however, i have always been interested In President Kennedy, and his administration,and sadly the events that happened 48 years ago today. The world Lost a Great Man, regardless of which political party you belong to. this was a loss. these things should never, ever happen anywhere.My thoughts and Prayers go out to His Daughter,and the rest of the Kennedy Family May you Rest in Peace MR. President.

I remember growing up with my father, Chris Sagherian Senior, always talking about what a great man John F. Kennedy was. When he would talk about Kennedy you could see it in his facial expression that he was a great man, so great that my father would almost let out a tear. For almost 5 years now I have listed Kennedy as someone from History that I'd like to meet on my Facebook account and in a strange twist of fate it turns out that I'm working for the Sixth floor museum and helping to seal the legacy of this great man every day! It is an honor!

After attending school at Special Ed. Center from 8:30- 11:30AM MST, I was leaving it for the day when the shots were fired. Then at a supermarket I think was Safeway with my mother shopping when the air raid siren went off for a moment, it was that the US President, John F. Kennedy passed away in Dallas, Texas. I was at the age of 9 years and 10 months at the time this all occured.

I was only 4 years old ...I remember my grandmother crying holding.a picture of JFK, I asked my Dad why was she crying and be told me that a very bad man took the life of our President. He told me not to worry no harm.will come to us, cause I was scared, my Dads siblings all 16 of them gathered at my grandparents house and held a memorial service that night ,I just remember them passing the picture around and saying forever rest in peace. Thank you for letting me share this. And my God Bless America

I was in high school and during our algebra class someone came into our classroom and whispered something to our teacher who I could see turned pale and got very serious, which was not like him at all. We all gasped and many started to cry because Kennedy had become such a beloved figure to us and as teens about to become young adults, this was for most of us the event that thrust us into the world of adult responsibility and awareness. I also remember how the nation pulled together and how proud I was to be an American at that moment and many other moments of national tragedy have brought that out in our collective pride to be Americans.

I wasn't born yet, but my mother was in Arlington, Texas carrying me in her womb. I grew up hearing about her being pregnant with me and at home with my two older siblings watching television when the President was shot. I grew up with a great deal of pride for having been born in Texas, but sorrow that JFK was shot in Arlington, my birth place. My parents left Texas after my birth in April of 1964 and I did not return until two years ago. I am headed now to visit the museum with my visiting Marine Reservist son, who wants to walk on the grassy knoll. He has a love for history and has always been interested in all the theories that have been thrown around about JFK's death. Nelda Collier

I was not yet born. However, my Mother recalled hearing about the loss of JFK. My father was overseas in the service. What a very sad day for the nation, the world, and the future.
