This One's For Camelot
Today, November 22, 2013 marks 50 years since the assassination of JFK. I know i wasn't alive when he was president but i still consider him one of my favorites.... well right after my man Abe of course!
All over the news today.... stories and videos, friends and family talk and remember the horrific day when our country mourned for a president. A president with potential to change the world. Today, tragedy like that doesn't hit as hard. With all the shootings and killings, it seems nothing shocks us anymore. We've almost become used to it! The sixties were a time filled with rebellion and war but when our president was shot, the US had never experienced a pain like that.
I heard this Beatles song today on my way to work.... creepily fitting i think for today's mood. The song and lyrics are beautiful. A song filled with such meaning.
Our youngest, most handsome president ;), too young to die and yet i can't believe today marks 50 years since it happened.
Remember today and ask yourself what YOU can do for your country!
