Written by Nicole Foulke

Bells will toll on Friday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 22, 1963, that now, years later, is still a sharp pain for the many Americans who remember where they were when they heard the news.

People in Pennsylvania and the rest of the country can still remember where they were when they heard the news, and how they reacted after they understood that their president had been shot.
