The cure for polio. I was 6 and was scared of getting sick and dying. I heard that this shot would keep me and my friends from dying of a horrible disease.
Deaths of people mean little to me. JFK, MLK etc. had little effect of the grand scheme. To call them big events, is wrong, to me. My Grandfathers death meant, and still does mean, more to me.

9\11 or the Assassination of JFK. On 9/11 I was at a meeting outside of Boston. At the time we didn't know what kind of plane had the first tower. It was confusing. JFK. It was on a Friday, for some reason I was home from school. I was 12. Both of my parents were crying.

JFK assassination. I thought it was terrible. I was at my best friend's house. We went somewhere and were coming back into her house when we passed through the living room and heard it on the TV. I was 17 at the time.
The Vietnam war wasn't a good thing either. So many years, so many lives, so much destruction. I was working at Ford Ord, CA a military training base for the Infantry. So many young men were coming back home and getting retired by the Army for disability. I worked in the Retired Activities Department so I saw them all. I procedded their paperwork. I especially remember a 19 year old named Ron. There were no outward signs of a disability, but he was retired with pay because of something internal. It was so sad.

Mine AND yours. 9/11. My first thought was exactly the correct one: The bastards are finishing what they started in 1993. I was at work, I work for the Federal Government at an Air Force Base and I was scared to death that we were next.

The end of WWII.
Having just survived the attempts by the Allies to blow our town to smithereens, being a four year old foreign brat subjected to Austrian xenophobia.

I was in first grade when president Kennedy was assassinated. (Knowing that teachers of young children never leave the room) I remember all the teachers gathering in the hall and crying. I don't think that would happen again.
