Was anyone out there alive and aware when JFK, MLK and RFK were shot?

105. I was also in school. In study hall at the time. I was in the 7 grade (I think). I remember

the principle coming on the loud speaker and telling us the president was dead. I remembering crying. When I got home my mother was still crying. Her mother who lived in Italy was crying. She had a picture of President Kennedy up in her home. She had never been to the united states. But she was proud because he was our first catholic president. My mother was pregnant at the time. When my brother was finally born she named him after the president. It really had an effect on us. I remember us living in PA temporily and all the neighbors were very upset. I think the whole country really was in a state of shock. I think the feeling was alot like the lost people experienced on 9/11 or Pearl Habor (I wasn't born then). But even though it happens life moves on. You may never forget (I didn't) but the course of history changed. You think what if this never happened? When would our country look like today? Those are things that run through my mind even today. We lost a great man who really care for the working people in this country. That is what I thought voting for Obama was going to be. It turned out he never even has gone to where the poor live. He never even turned out to be like RFK or even MLK. Those are the true heros of the democratic party.
