50th Anniversary of JFK Assassination.
Thousands of americans gathered in Dallas, the site of JFK's assassination 50 years later. Ceremonies proceeded including this moment of silence. Bells were rung at the exact time of the gunshots.
President Kennedy's famous inaugural oath and speech in which he asks his fellow Americans to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." (at 3:35).

President Obama shares his thoughts on JFK's legacy and lasting impact. Obama discusses the type of man JFK was and the modern examples of President Kennedy's beliefs being realized.
My favorite Kennedy speech. This speech was orated at Rice University, where John F. Kennedy spoke about his intentions of having America win the Space Race to the moon. The music in this video is great and amplifies the emotion.

Music of the American Identity (Under Construction...)
"I wanna show that gospel, country, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll are all just really one thing. Those are the American music and that is the American Culture" What better way for a culture to be expressed than through music . . .
