My JFK Story

I was in my early twenties and stationed at Ft. Benning, Ga. I was off-duty and out at a club in Columbus, Ga., when we got the alert to report back to base, but not told the reason except something terrible happened, and we were on full alert.  When arriving at our barracks, we were told we were on alert because Pres. Kennedy had been assassinated in Texas. It was strange to see so many soldiers who cried, because he was probably the best loved Commander in Chief of any president who ever served. To this day I still remenber sadness on base that day, no matter how much time has passed.
