I wasn't born for JFK, Apollo 11, or John Lennon. When the Berlin Wall came down I was in second grade, and didn't have a clue what the signifiance was.
911 was interesting. I was going to the bathroom when I heard my stepmother screaming from the other room. When I came out she told me aplane had hit the World Trade Center. All I could think was, they shouldn't build buildings that high. I had no clue that it was terrorism, not untill the second plane hit. Then me and my step mom and my dad sat, glued to the TV, all day.
