Ngo Dinh Diem thought America was a friend That turned out badly, he met a bloody end A State Department cabal thought he denied human rights They pulled the plug and turned off the lights JFK agreed he had to go, Diem was hurting our side Viet plotters then shot him, JFK was horrified. Then we ended up putting our troops...

Few now remember the horror of November 22nd The year was 1963, and it seems a long time ago, But by American history and memories reckoned The death of the president far eclipsed Mar-a-Lago. On that day President John F. Kennedy was killed, Shot to death in old Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, It was said accomplished by a man not-so-skilled, And...

Dallas, Texas 1963
She scrambled from where she sat in the back seat climbing onto the trunk of that long luxurious Lincoln not to escape an assassin's assault as many assumed but to collect the shards of skull and bits of brain that had been blown back onto it as a bullet blasted a hole in his head his body lolling over to lie limply in her lap as her flowers fell to the floorboard sure...

JFK By Franklin Price 11/22/2020 What do you remember, About this day, in '63? Do you remember Dallas, And the horror there to see? JFK's assassination As he was driving by Camelot was dying We could only watch and cry Where would we have been today, If that die had not been cast? Would we be reflecting On a very different past? Would the parties get along? Red and...

One sunny day a tall, lithe man slowly climbed the steps. Some saw him as the bringer of peace. Others as the new beacon of understanding. But he was simply a man, by birth an American, by nature, Irish. He plodded forward, hampered by the pain in his back, and more so, by the pain in his heart. The crowd cried out for his...

JFK - THE NIGHT BEFORE We'll nevermore mention some things we could tell, your struggle so long getting here, there's no man in heaven who's not been through hell nor never a man without fear; Your world must go on in just part of a day, with what you've been doing thus far, tonight you must sleep, where you go's a long...

JFK Improves With the Passing Decades By Elton Camp With all the praises being heaped today Dare I speak negatively of Pres JFK? For his legacy, death proved to be ideal Making him a myth far removed from real I was still a young man when he died But well recall that some in joy cried “Johnson is far better man than he! It’ll...

A handsome man, a valiant son, John Kennedy was he. A man who rose to President with civil rights the key. Who can forget the many days like Camelot they seemed, when all eyes were on Washington, they passed just like a dream. Ah, we remember Jacqueline a Vassar deb was she, who walked with grace on his right side through fame and infamy. One thousand days...
