        JFK taking "dated" missiles out of Turkey to help Khruschev save face was our obfuscation. JFK gave up the option to update those missiles.

        Liked how everything wasn't about the USA and included all nations in this hemisphere.

        At age 11 I left Cuba 3 months prior 2 this date. Parents stayed behind. I was placed in foster home 4 unaccompanied Cuban kids. Scary days!

        Now show the memo where we secretly agree to remove our missiles from Turkey, a little tidbit Kennedy historians hate mentioning.

        Back when diplomacy was the hallmark of a successful Presidency & Americans had confidence in the credibility & sanity of our leaders.

        See how a real leader engages a foe? Not that trump would go against a Russian, but I’m guessing he’d have called him Kooky Khrushchev.

        I remember having nuclear bomb drills when I was in elementary school. Those were weird times.
