No boredom of any type crypt in. Fascinating story and certainly one to remember. Yes, imagine that poster would be valuable today, along with her letter. Thank you. Living in Dallas, JFK and memories will always be a part of life. It is still remembered ...sitting in study hall in high school when learning of his death over the school intercom. That evening EVERYTHING in Dallas closed. Seriously, few Friday night, date night facilities of any type were open for business. Still remembered in some form or fashion are the events which followed. Ruby, grassy knoll, the funeral with the riderless horse. The pain that our city felt something so evil happened in our fair city. A stigma that lasted for years.

Thank you for sharing your story. Any story from here would not be near as entertaining, unless you might be interested that I once rode in the Texas State Fair parade many moons ago. In a convertible, not on a horse :-))

Yes, the events in Dallas and the Kennedy memorial parade will remain etched in my mind too. The powers of envy, greed, and tyranny are strong and it requires a good and very strong-willed leader to combat them.

But if the majority of voters become corrupt, the only hope of freedom is that the minority rises up in violence to overthrow the tyrants.  Let's pray that it never come to that in this great country.

And I remember the key part of the oath of military office where it clearly states that we do not owe our allegiance to any particular government leader at all:

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
