45 years after tragedy, John F. Kennedy legacy thrives

It was 45 years ago today that an assassin’s bullet ripped a hole in America’s heart, even that part of America that hadn’t supported the candidacy of our 35th president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

By the time he was shot down on this date in 1963, JFK had charmed the socks off many critics with irrepressible warmth and self-effacing humor.

When asked to describe how he became a hero as the commander of PT-109 in the South Pacific, he replied, “It was involuntary; they sank my boat.”

Gone but never forgotten.

I light a candle in your memory Jack ever confident that the truth of what happened that day on 22 November 1963 will have to out.
