Kennedy Posted Thursday, September 6, 2012 04:31 PM I was upstairs in Chopper Ops at Altus AFB, Oklahoma playing chess with Supreme Court Justice Brennan's nephew. A Beatle song was on the radio when they broke in and said Kennedy had been shot. It seemed like the words had not yet gotten out of the announcer's mouth before Lieutenant Brennan said "Those GD right wingers?" The entire base went on alert immediately and I think we went one DEFCON below war. It was pins and needles for a few weeks after that. We were some very nervous folks just waiting for the other shoe to drop. JC |
