JJ,
It was evening in Berlin. Earlier that day, we did a recon of new wall fortifications and we were having a beer in Willi Kitts Bar on Kadetten Weg in West Berlin (a block from the old SS officer training barracks) when the shooting occurred.

I can tell you that Berlin wept big tears for a long time. Willi turned off the music, told his patrons to stop dancing and announced that JFK had been shot in Dallas. My teammates and I headed for the door and were back in the unit a few minutes later gearing up.

Berlin mourned for 30 days. There was no music, no celebrations, and no dancing in Berlin for that entire period.
