IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF AN ASSASSINATION
On the night of August 2, 1943, a young John F. Kennedy came of an age when he heroically rescued and took responsibility of his PT-109 crew, when the Japanese destroyer, "Amagiri," sliced his craft in half in the Solomon Islands.
From 1943 in the Solomon Islands during WWII to his death in 1963, JFK emerged as a war hero, author of "Profiles in Courage," a US Senator, a US President, a leader during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and a visionary of the improbable promise of landing a man on the moon. All of this within a twenty year span of his life. To have such an accomplished life snuffed out by the likes of Oswald remains "the crime of the century." One of the four Dallas Times Herald photo journalists remarked that there is now more interest than ever in the JFK assassination. People from all over the world visited Dallas for the 50th anniversary and Internet chat rooms participants worldwide exchanged conversation and opinions about JFK.
