It is overcast and spitting at Fort Leonard Wood Missouri. After chow we march out in ponchos. Destination an old former motor pool. Mission, hand to hand combat training. Fatigue jackets off, ponchos covering our brand-new M-14’s. A jeep comes out with news. The President has been shot. We get dressed to march back to base. Before we can form up in ranks another jeep appears. President Kennedy has died.
This morning I read three newspapers. Not a word about that awful day. Just an oblique, cryptic reference in the comic strip Arlo and Janis. Mr. Johnson, thank you.
