I must have missed it, I don’t recall seeing any anniversary stories or remembrances. I just thought about it this morning when I wrote out today’s date.
I guess after the 50th anniversary events seem to get less memorialized.

Well we do have this fresh and still-lively thread (Is the Kennedy Assassination a closed case as far as the US Government is concerned? - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board) on the same old JFK CT garbage. So at least somebody is remembering.
I would say 10 year intervals up until the 50th. Then 75th, then 100th, then history. Perhaps 9/11 blows my 10 year interval theory since it seemed to be constantly memorialized there for a while. But who knows? I don’t know how much remembrance of Pearl Harbor was going on in say 1947 before it settled into a 10 year reminiscence.
Two months ago, on September 19th, you know how much coverage the anniversary of James Garfield’s assassination got?
Nothing! It’s like people just don’t care anymore.
James who?
Just kidding
Garfield. Like the cat.
Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday. So, I kinda remember JFK in my own private little way each year.
If your daughter’s birthday was August 18, we’d be questioning the way you celebrate the anniversary of Kennedy’s death.
There was plenty of coverage on cable channels. I know, because I was flipping through the guide on Sunday afternoon looking for something to watch, and there were quite a few channels running programs about Kennedy or the assassination.
His real death, not that puppet show they put on in Dallas.
:dubious:
Has the National Enquirer run a piece on this? That is where you get the REAL news!
On the front page of Wikipedia under “On this day…” for today (24th) they included Ruby shooting Oswald*. Nothing about Kennedy (or Tippit or Connally) for the 22nd.
Elsewhere, it definitely seemed like a very quiet Kennedy remembrance day.
My history is quite bad. Didn’t he die on the 19th, but get shot a couple days earlier or something? Either way, I would guess the fact no one alive remembers it diminishes its acknowledgement.
I hardly care that we didn’t acknowledge the 52nd anniversary of Kennedy’s death. I didn’t even make a big deal on September 11 this year.
No, it was two days ago.
Fixed your post, Kaylasdad.
[Garfield] was shot on July 2nd. Modern medicine could have saved him. Hell, medicine of the time could have saved him had he had competent doctors.
Ta!
:smack:
Her birthday is on the 22nd. I was off work on Monday and feel like I missed an entire day.
Nope, nobody’s got it yet.
Or at least we’re not talking like we got it.
