Cold war story

I talked to my mom about the Cold war and a moment where she was aware of the war. She said that she doesn't remember much about the war, but she remembers watching the news and seeing some events unfold. She remembers when she heard about the Cuban Missile Crisis. She remembers being afraid of a war with nuclear bombs. She said that a lot of people didn't know what to think of the Cuban Missile Crisis. She was scared, but some people were a bit skeptical of the crisis. She also remembers fearing at school and home a nuclear bomb coming to the US not just from Cuba but from somewhere else.
