50 years ago today: The Cuban Missile Crisis began. [View all]
I remember. I was just a kid, but I remember watching JFK's speech, and being chilled to the bone about a nuclear war that until then was just duck and cover in elementary school. It was an incredible time. JFK and RFK saved us. And I watched that address on television, as a just turned 11 year old. I grew up a lot then.
