CBS Sunday Morning today focused on the life of JFK. The two most poignant things I heard came from:
1) a letter written by JFK (April 19, 1963) to a grieving widow, Mrs. Patricia Wiley, who returned the quote in her letter of condolence to Jackie after JFK died: “It is a fact of history that this price of freedom must be paid again and again by our best young men in each generation,” and
2) the words at the end of an essay about JFK by fellow Irish American and Sunday Morning Contributor Bill Flanagan: “It was the moment when our parents went from believing in all the great things that were going to be, to regretting what might have been.” http://www.cbsnews.com/
