Below are a few of the many almost-poetic ways people in their letters/stories described Friday, November 22, 1963: • The End of Innocence in America • The Day the Dreams and Hopes of Young People to Serve Mankind and Make a Better World Were Shattered • The Day America Became Old Again • The Day the Music Stopped • The Day Our Eagle Was Crippled - Everyone Wondering if it Would Ever Soar Again • The Day That Was Gloomy and Blue - with a temporary absence of red and white on our flag replaced with a solid morbid and gloomy shade of blue • A Day that Arthur Miller said, A Part Of Our Country - Yet Another Part - Had Slid Into The Sea • A Day When Bells Sadly Tolled Instead of Joyfully Ringing • A Bad Day That Might Have Been a Good Day, But Wasnt.. • The Day When The Suicide Rate Went Down In America • The Day The Boston Strangler Cried When Hearing The News and Within 28 Hours Had Added Another Victim To His List • The Day Senator Birch Bayh, On a Plane During a Sudden Rain Storm Said, The Heavens Opened Up With Gods Tears • The Day When a Black Man Went To His Knees Asking God To Take Kennedy Straight To Heaven - Not Stopping In Purgatory • The Day The Lights Went Out In America • The Day Sec. of Agriculture Bob Bergland Stood At His Office Window In Washington Watching Traffic Stop And The City Die • The Day The BBC said, The Metronome Of Our Constitution Barely Missed A Tick and The Transition Of Power So Smooth To Make Us All Proud • The Day That Tarnished Our Shiny Solid-Gold World Image - With The Tarnish Taking Away Our Prestige, Clout And Causing A Temporary Feeling Of Our Military Power Being Weakened • The Day Native American, Iron Eyes Cody (known for his TV Keep America Beautiful message with the tear on his cheek) Was Up In The Big Mountains On A Vision Quest, didnt hear the news for a week- and Later Sang Prayer Songs For His Friend John Kennedy • The Day That George Psychas Said, A Sack Of Maise so much appreciated by the East African Natives and Known As Kennedy Posho Lost Its Name • The Day That Was The Beginning of Frustrations And Restless Behavior Of Americas Youth Resulting In The Riots, Anti-War Demonstrations, etc. of the late 60s and early 70s ... • The Day When Ugly Toxic Prejudices (specifically Anti-Black and Anti-Catholic) Were Exposed In Many Stories which for thoughtful people are Bittersweet - because These Are Prejudices Tolerated ONLY IN AMERCA ...A small price to pay for our freedom ... As we all know, people in many other countries are policed and severely punished for having such feelings and for expressing them
