Where were you when ....?

I have always heard the question asked, "Where were you when when Kennedy was shot?" At first I really did not understand why people were always asked this, but then tragedy striked on September 11th. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out and now I can understand the question. It seems that every generation faces at least one tragedy. My grandmother's generation faced the attacks on Pearl Harbor, my mother's generation lived through the Kennedy Assassination, and now I have lived through September 11th. Such horrific events just stay imbedded into your mind for the rest of your life and will never be forgotten.
