Nov 2023

Learned a lot about JFK I didn't know. He was well prepared for the Presidency and one of the most competent we've had. He wasn't in it for money or power or glory; actually wanted to serve. He was a hero as a torpedo boat captain in WWII and had to pull strings to get in the military rather than pay a doctor to disqualify him for bone spurs. And he suffered some serious health issues most of his life.

One quote he made will always be in my memory: "Ask not what your Country can do for you; ask what YOU can do for your Country."

We need more like him and more who believed him.
