I was in a church classroom with a bunch of other people watching it. It was riveting - which says a lot since I was a 7 year old with a limited attention span.
There are certain moments where you just can feel everything that was surrounding you when they happened.
The Columbia blowing up - I was ironing my shirt for work and was home alone.
9/11 - got to work early then heard the news.
Desert Storm - at the Nissan Dealer buying Chris a car.
Election 1972 - Marching around my living room with a hand-made Nixon for President sign attached to a wooden yardstick while my parents watched the news.
Kennedy's Funeral - my very first memory. I didn't understand what was really going on but was fascinated with JohnJohn on the TV.
