JFK Memory

At 12.30 p.m. on Nov. 22, 1963, some military soldiers were calm and relax. A couple of minutes later, they were standing under order, awaiting commands,weapon in hand.

The president of the United States had just been shot, twice, while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dallas.

At 1 p.m., President John F. Kennedy was declared dead.


Apparently, his favourite poem was Alan Seeger's  "I have a rendezvous with death".
