Tonight, we were watching the tube and saw that commercial for the World Trade Center film. The catch phrase was, "Every generation has its defining moment."
Me: What would you say is the defining moment of our generation?
W4D: (without a second'shesitation) Kennedy getting killed.
Me: Yes, that's probably it.
W4D: That, or man walking on the moon.
Me: Both of those are excellent choices. The first thing that came to my mind was Kent State.
W4D: The Kennedy assassination profoundly affected me. You know, many days, I am working and I can still hear those drums.
Me: Are you sure you aren't just hung over?

glad you're back I missed you guys!
Defining moments: yes: Kennedy assassination +(Dr. ML King & Bobby Kennedy) Vietnam War& protests. The sound of helicopters still brings back memories of the evening news and the daily #'s of soliders lost.
Thanks, jk! Nice to know that a few people noticed we were gone.
Yep, war protests were my first thought. Still, I will never, ever get over September 11th. I wonder if I will ever stop dreaming about it or even be able to get on an airplane again?
