a) JFK was shot - in a Freshman English class.

b) Apollo 11 landed on the moon - Working for a police department in a suburb of Oklahoma City

c) John Lennon was shot - Teaching School in Kansas

d) the Berlin Wall fell - Still teaching school in Kansas

e) the 9/11 attacks occurred - At my store waiting for the beer trucks to show up

It may seen strange to me but the 9-11 attacks are the only one of these incidents that really seem to matter to me. I am several hundred miles away from being a JFK fan - He was a piss-poor excuse for a president that has become much larger than life because he was assassinated - History would not have been kind to this man had he finished out his presidency.

The moon landing was a great accomplishment in proving that it could be done - Has it changed anything? Have we benefitted in any way from this? No.

John Lennon - never did care for the Beatles and he was married to a total freak.

The Berlin Wall finally coming down was the finale to a lot of change. It is symbolic of the fall of communism and beginnining of the end of the Cold War. It is mainly symbolic - like the statue of Saddam coming down.

The 9-11 attack hit me rigfht square in the gut. It is probably the most memorable event in my memory. I will never forget - or forgive.
