1. It's long over-due... this tribute to JFK..

Today, I saw nothing but a BLIP in the paper.

Bless you, Tom...

2. The Smithsonian Channel

Reelz and National Geographic showed some Kennedy documentaries, primarily focused on the assassination.

We lost so much more than a president 52 years ago... I agree with you

3. I don't get Reelz, I do get NatGeo (great) and I listen to this, too..

Many hours of listening here brought me up to date on what I was too young to understand when he died. I learned so much about JFK's background and understanding of wars of aggression, certainly what the CIA was capable of. Anyway, it's a very thorough archive of him certainly.

Knowledge is Power.

Power without consequences is Peace.

4. Wonderful speech in our history that is timeless. Thanks for remembering.

Liberalism needs a very strong rejuvenation. It's taken a beating almost into obscurity in the last 30 years. it might be happening, I pray.

5. Always worth listening to, again and again..

From my alma mater, before I attended.

6. Thank you

Thank you, LongTomH, for posting this.

I watched the whole thing.

For the last three years I have been dedicating my efforts to a local peace group. in order to educate the public and organize peaceful political activities, and to lobby our elected officials to move money from Defense to Health care, Education, and Environmental Protection.

I have become so discouraged lately--between the mass shootings, the xenophobia, the profiteering from rhetoric of hate--that I have felt like giving up.

Listening to this speech restored my hope (and my patriotism).

Is this from CSPAN's archives?
