JFK remembered

My sister in-law, Susan, got me the book Killing Kennedy by Bill O'Reilly.  It was well written and covers, in great detail, the time of Camelot and the end of the age of innocence.  Surrounded by the Civil Rights movement, the start of the Vietnam War, the Space Race and Bay of Pigs Kennedy is shot...  There was a lot going on!  What a sad tragic loss.

One takeaway i have from the book is this quote:

O God, 

thy sea is so great, 

and my boat is so small.

The above was a plaque that US President John F Kennedy had on his desk in the White House.
