JFK's Legacy of Peace
While visiting Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day, just a few weeks before his death, #JFK stood on the grounds of the Arlington House high on a hill above the national cemetery.
As he took in the sweeping views of the rolling green hills and fall foliage, his eyes continued across the Potomac River to the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. He wistfully said that the views were so spectacular that he “could stay here forever.”
After his death on November 22, 1963, his widow Jackie selected a plot just below #Arlington House. This established the site of the #Kennedy family graves and offered her late husband the forever view he requested.
President Kennedy often told those close to him that he wanted the words "he kept the peace" inscribed on his tombstone. Although those words do not adorn his grave marker today, we agree with Kennedy's self-assessment of his own contribution to history.
In this excerpt from Episode 21 of "Strange Bedfellows" I discuss Kennedy's Legacy of Peace with radio personality and author Bruce de Torres.
After many important reflections upon President Kennedy's life and death on the 60th anniversary of Dallas, perhaps his commitment to #peace is, above all else, what JFK should be best remembered for.
We will also talk about how JFK's nephew #RFKJr is running for president to continue his uncle's legacy of peace, as the world stands on the brink of #WWIII globally and civil war on the home front. Can Kennedy #HealTheDivide before it's too late?
Catch the premiere tonight at 9 PM Eastern!
