Reflection on JFK Assasination The world talks about how JFK's assasination was one of the largest disasters that ever happened to America. Before interviewing my grandparents (Aelin's grandparents), we knew the basics on the topic and knew that it changed the lives and ways of many Americans, but we never realized how much fear and mourn came from the nation after JFK had died. The results from this project have been rewarding and we have learned a tremendous amount about how JFK's assasination not only effected the nation, but also effected my family (Aelin's family).

In our interview my grandparents (Aelin's grandparent's) state their personal opinions about what it was like having the unsureness of what was going to happen next. The nation could have easily crumbled to nothing if it weren't for our carefully structured government and America's patience. My grandparents (Aelin's grandparents) talk about the tremendous fear that swept the nation and their personal struggles through that depressing period of time.
