I worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and was donating blood when I heard the announcement on a transistor radio that the President had been assassinated.

I was in a Navy Reserve Squadron of P2V's, so I was able to report to the Naval Air Station New York in full uniform and got a hop on an R3D (DC-5) to Washington DC.

I rendered my final salute to President John F. Kennedy in the Rotunda as he was lying in state.

Still makes my eyes wet to this day.
