45th Anniversary of JFK's Assassination

By William S. James

Today marks the 45th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and for many of us who lived through that terrible moment it felt as though there would never be a gloomier day in our lifetime. But instead of getting better, the world seems to have gotten darker.

There is more hate and division in the world than 45 years ago. The stars that spangle our banner have lost a little of their luster as many people in the world no longer trust our ideals. Greed has replaced honor, and deceit has replaced honesty. Insecurity has replaced stability, and bullets and bombs have replaced compassion.

When John F. Kennedy said those famous words that defined his leadership, many were convinced that he was right, because the torch had been passed, and it has been passed once again. Now it seems we need to remember the wisdom of those words more than ever.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Excerpts from his inaugural address after being sworn in as the 35th President of the United States on January 20th, 1961.

"Let the word go forth.....that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans."

"Let every nation know... that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

"The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life."

"Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."

"And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country"
