Joseph McBride Posted November 27 Posted November 27 (edited) Let's give thanks to the three men who saved the world during the Cuban Missile Crisis: John F. Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev, and Vasily Arkhipov. As Ted Sorensen wrote of President Kennedy in COUNSELOR: A LIFE AT THE EDGE OF HISTORY, "The discovery that the Soviet Union had secretly rushed nuclear missiles into Cuba tested JFK's wisdom, courage, and leadership as no president since Lincoln and FDR had been tested. No other test so starkly put at stake, depending on the president's choices, the survival of our country. It was for that moment that he had been elected; and it was for that moment that he will most be remembered." Sorensen does not add that Kennedy lost his job and his life as a result of his wisdom and restraint; Khrushchev, for his diplomatic wisdom and restraint in helping end the crisis, also paid the price by being deposed. Arkhipov was the Soviet naval officer who refused to fire a nuclear torpedo against the U.S. Navy from a submarine during the crisis after US ships dropped depth charges. After initial furor among the Soviet military, Arkhipov was promoted and eventually retired as a vice admiral. Edited November 27 by Joseph McBride

And let's also give thanks to those-- including some members of this forum-- who have labored against difficult odds and even slander during the past 60 years to discover and educate the public about JFK assassination truth.

Ed Moninger Posted November 28 Posted November 28 I am very grateful for the members of this forum, the supporters who keep it running, and the thoughtful and diligent research of you contributors. Thank you for years, decades, of devotion and sharing. Thanks also for the departed. We wouldn’t be where we are in understanding without their dedication and research. I believe the truth is out there and shifting from tin foil hats to teachable reality. i am very grateful for this community and what you have given.
Ron Bulman Posted November 28 Posted November 28 Happy Thanksgiving to all. Just my wife and I here tomorrow. We have seen and will see family in the next few days, more at Christmas. So, since she doesn't like turkey, (but loves chicken, go figure) I'm grilling NY strips. To go with pea salad, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and blueberry pie. Be safe if you're traveling.
George Govus Posted November 28 Posted November 28 Shrewd move by Mr. McBride, roping this irrelevant thread back into the context of the JFK assassination!
Gil Jesus Posted November 28 Posted November 28 Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families !!
