But I remember seeing it years later and crying for what might have been. My family loved the Kennedys.

If you don't, everyone who knows you won't forget.

If peaceful, liberal, progressive Democrats could lead the United States to the moon, imagine what they would do for the people of the United States and planet earth? Ours would be a different reality.



Proof US Media are Corrupt, they ignored this story from last year TOTALLY: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy.

Four-time Academy Award ® Winner Charles Guggenheim
ROBERT KENNEDY REMEMBERED
TRT 29 minutes Black & White

Shown on all television networks simultaneously and at the Democratic National Convention in August of 1968, this film biography evokes the spirit, quality and commitment Robert Kennedy brought to his life and work.

Accompanied by (if memory serves) this song...

"Abraham, Martin and John" is a 1968 song written by Dick Holler and first recorded by Dion. It is a tribute to the memory of four assassinated Americans, all icons of social change, namely Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written in response to the assassinations of King and the younger Kennedy in April and June 1968.

Each of the first three verses features one of the men named in the song's title, for example:

Has anybody here, seen my old friend Abraham -
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people, but it seems the good, they die young
But I just looked around and he's gone.

After a bridge, the fourth and final verse mentions Robert "Bobby" Kennedy, and ends with a description of him walking over a hill with the other three men...
