50 years ago, today, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed. It is still debated who did it, and with what, but that's not what this article is about. While I may not have agreed with President Kennedy on many of his policies, that's not what I want to discuss here. Instead, I would like to give a tribute the President. His death changed our nation, for better or for worse, forever.Kennedy was intelligent, good looking, and he had charisma. Yet, like all of us, he was a fallen man, and his life reflects that. But during his presidency, he had numerous achievements, as well as decisions that would change the world, I will just mention a few.
Kennedy's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Stopped a crisis the would probably have lead to a nuclear war.
Kennedy's Atmospheric Nuclear Test Ban

Rest In Peace John Fitzgerald Kennedy
