That was a true threat. You had good parentsThe first one I remember is the Cuban Missile Crisis! I was really young, but I remember the fear, dad buidling a bomb shelter and mom canning food to put in it. I remember asking why the water containers had a drop of bleach in them and how many we had stacked in the garage! I was too young to understand exactly what was going on, but I remember having full faith my parents wouldn't let anything happen to me. They had superpowers.
Yeh, the Big Kids came back missing arms & legs. (That is how my Dad put it.)I think the ending of the Vietnam war and Warergate were the big ones that stick out in my mind.
