January 14, 1964 - Jacqueline Kennedy thanks the Nation

Mrs. Kennedy made her comments on a newsreel, which was shown before feature attractions in movie theaters throughout the nation. With the late President's brothers, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Senator Edward Kennedy, at her side, Mrs. Kennedy said, "its my greatest wish that all these letters be acknowledged." Mrs. Kennedy went on to say that "each and every letter will be treasured," and be placed along with President Kennedy's papers, in the Kennedy Library which was to be built in Boston, Massachusets. Mrs. Kennedy said that the Kennedy Library, "would be, we hope, not only a memorial to President Kennedy, but a living center of study of the times in which he lived. And a center for young people and for scholars from all over the world."

You can see that she is on the verge of tears. She was so strong. Why can't all of us be strong. In a way I am tired of hearing peoples cries for pity.

so haunting when she said, " all his brite lite gone from the world" and at that moment you can hear a loud pop from the fire. sounding like a gunshot. how eerie it is. she sort of twitches when it happens. she holds a special place in our hearts. a true lady, in every sense of the word. to go through the assasination, hold herself and her family together and a nation, really...and stay so strong...it just make me cry and feel proud of her all in one jumble of emotions. rip miss jackie.

Wow! What a nice speech. Are all the letters at the library now? I plan to visit Boston in the New Year.

JFK could have married any woman in the world back in 1953.

He made a brilliantly fantastic choice...Jackie was "The Bomb"!!!!!

@TheTweeter53 : Learn what? Adultery?

Lee Oswald was a gifted linguist. He had children with his pretty, intelligent, university-educated wife (she was trained as a druggist). He was a C.I.A.-operative. He was not a sexually-frustrated, unemployed, junky, mother-hating, drunken loner. He had friends. He had charisma. He bathed daily, visited his dentists after meals and brushed twice a year. [I want to live as long as Elvis would have lived if he were still living.]

Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was the personification of class. We should all learn from her.
