We've run two polls related to the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Whether you believe Kennedy was a great man cut down in his prime, or a failed president likely to lose the next election, or whether you believe Oswald acted alone or some conspiracy brought down the president, there's one point of little doubt: Nov. 22, 1963 was a turning-point event in U.S. history.

It's always been said of those who were alive and old enough to comprehend what was going on, you never forget where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news.

I was 2 1/2 years old, so I have no memory of the day, but I could tell you were I was and what I was doing when Lennon was shot, when Reagan was shot, when the Berlin Wall came down and when that second plane hit the Twin Towers.

If you remember Kennedy's assassination, please leave a comment about how and where you heard the news. Not to leave anybody out, if you don't have that memory, share what the historical moment meant to you growing up.
