It's definitely a bittersweet taste of what could have been.

...and there was a great deal of confusion as the motorcade sped by the Trade Mart on its way to Parkland down the street. They expected the motorcade to stop.

(12,156 posts)6. Until this week I could not do videos because of a data cap
We just started with a local company called Brazos WIFI with unlimited data. This is the 1st video I watched and listened too. It is gut wrenching and poignant. I was 13 when JFK was murdered and a part of me and the American people as well. A great speech that is fitting for today as it was when I was 13. He inspired me as a child and an early teen as did his brothers. We will never see their like again.

You're right... it is, and he was, very inspirational.
