Where were you when our country died?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Remember how we always ask where were you or what were you doing when Kennedy died? Well this is one of those unifying moments that will follow us for the rest of our lives. There's got to be a better way to put it.

What were you doing when they shot our country?

Any better suggestions?
