JFK assassination anniversary still has lock on the world

Nov. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS - Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination, and 9-11.

Three events in history indelibly linked to public grief.

November 22, 2009 is the 46th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The day is one of a few key dates in American (and world) history that have a grip on the American imagination.

"People remember where they were, at the moment they heard the horrible news, because of what is set in motion and how it effects us all," D.L. Shiloh said. "They will be remembered forever and part of the grief is that we wish they wouldn't have happened."

Shiloh's new novel-in-progress is titled "Waiting for the End", which deals with the grief after 9-11. His web site is http://www.911novel.com.

"Grief is personal, such as the death of a loved one," Shiloh added. "These world events magnify the things we experience on a personal level. When it happens on such a giant scale we feel it more because it happens to us all. That shared experience can pull us together. It happened after Pearl Harbor. We saw that right after 9-11."
