2. I remember goofing around at the dinner table while JFK delivered his Cuban Missile Crisis speech.

Mom told me, "Pay attention, because this is almost a Declaration of War that he's giving. You should remember this."

And I do.

And here is another extraordinary moment in history, delivered by an extraordinary President. Backlit by the waning days of Jimmy Carter and his own extraordinary life.

This is as dramatic and historic as any time in our nation's history. Be present. Breathe it in deeply and hold it within your soul.
