Um, no thoughts here that I could think of, apart from what might have happened if he hadn't been assassinated, I suppose.

It's always sad to reflect on things like that. We had a big assembly at school today in honor of the anniversary.

I know that it was a horrible thing, and that it shook the entire nation, but I think President Kennedy is a bit too over-rated. He supported civil rights, that's good and all, but then again, he was known more for his face than anything else. He was handsome and young and admired for his "Hollywood good looks". Still, he was the President, and he deserves to be remembered and honored.

Hence why he had an affair with Marilyn Monroe, which was like the extreme hottie of the time.

Right? I mean, not that he was a bad guy or anything, but he wasn't the most...moral man.

Hes was young and good looking.
He was a good President that did a lot for the U.S.
His moral issues only prove he was human with human desires.

Today is my grandfather's birthday.
In 1963 my grandfather got to shake JFK's hand.
JFK said to him "take care of your education son".

He started the Peace Corps, the USA space program, the President's physical fitness program among others. He cheated on his wife and held off nuclear war which is pretty amazing that any person could do both!
