My Memories of Jfk

Beautiful tribute, Jeanne. I think it's time our country remembers one of his best phrases: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." It seems we have gotten away from that sentiment lately. Thanks for sharing this tribute. Joe

Well-written poetic tribute to a beloved President whose time on the earth was sadly abbreviated.
