Fifty Years Ago Today

I was three years old.
Of course, I don't remember a thing, but it changed the course of history in the United States.
Our United States President, John F. Kennedy was assassinated, here in Dallas Texas.
I've been watching  a lot of the historical story this week on the news and t.v. specials and although Pres. Kennedy, and the rest of Kennedy family were NOT good people, I feel so bad for his wife and children.  What a tragic, tragic loss for them.
The Kennedy's were a very rich and powerful family in the United States at that time.  But they were also corrupt - involved with the mafia, sexual transgressions and many many political and illegal maneuvers.  They were NOT good people.  And they were LACED all through government and the country.  Not a good time in our US history.
So, not only did this assassination become major history for the American people, but it made John F. Kennedy a martyr and a much better person than he ever was.  And of course, his family and his legend have carried on for over the fifty years with yet, another of his brothers being assassinated, another brother in the US Congress for a bazillion years who was also corrupt, his own widow and children in the spotlight for 50 years with his son dying in a plane crash - they were, basically, considered American Royalty, equal to and just as significant as the English Royalty.
Anyways...today is the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination.  It continues to be all over the t.v - and it's interesting to hear what people, 50 years later, still have to say about the whole thing.
History will be history - some accurate - some not.
