The Kennedy Name

Everyone has heard something about the Kennedy's. Whether it is the picture perfect story of Camelot or the horrifying notion of the Kennedy Curse, the name Kennedy is recognized by the nation. The name Kennedy has always been a subject of interest or scandal. We have all seen the photos of the handsome president and his fashionable wife. We have all seen the horrifying images of the day the president was shot. We have all seen the somber photo of JFK Jr. saluting his father at his funeral. Forty-three years after the assassination of JFK, I find myself being drawn to the story of the Kennedy’s even though I was no where near being born. The story of so much hope and potential as the Kennedy’s entered the White House and the suddenness with which it ended, the story of the Kennedy’s will always be a significant part of our history.
