        My uncle was in the Navy and out to see when JFK was killed. He told me he and his shipmates thought they were going to war.

        I was in the Marine Corps at the time. I was on liberty when assassination occurred. We weren't call back but we went back anyway. One year earlier, I was part of Honor Guard for JFK when he landed at NAS Alameda, Ca en route to UN event in San Francisco.

        Micheal have you heard of the new batch of released docs that talk about Oswald as a CIA operative? It was in a feed online but have a hard time believing it. Thanks.

        I wish I could understand this ..I don't know what that means.. Pentagon I know, but the Defcon I don't. Is that the anti-terrorist?

        Defcon is a threat level assessment system used by the US military . The last time it was raised was 9 11, I believe. It tells the military what defense readiness to be at.

        Ahhhh! I see.. Thank you for letting me know...I was living in the US in 2011, but I don't think I heard that word at the time...It is the way to prepare the military troops for a low number of more security or a high number. 👍 Thank you. 😊

        I think six members of his Cabinet were out of the country, together on an airplane en route to Tokyo when the assassination happened.
