JFK: May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963


I grew up in a home that revered JFK. You didn't dare speak ill of him b/c my parents respected his intelligence and eloquence above so many others of his time. My dad would frequently say this JFK quote w/bitter regret in his voice: "Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House." There was a porcelain plate of JFK that hung in our dining rm, so every meal I had was enjoyed w/the Prez. I don't care how many women he slept with (that was strictly personal business between him & Jackie) but what I wouldn't give to have a president like him now. May he forever rest in eternal peace. "Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind. War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."--JFK. Visit here for more amazing JFK quotes.
