Grace Choi - The President's Calling

I listened to the speech given to the congress by Lyndon B. Johnson. He addresses the nation's loss of Kennedy, after his assassination. Johnson really makes recognition of the great late president. All of Kennedy's achievements through out his position in office is recalled by Johnson, from the race to space and partnerships across the seas, education to all children and more is spoken of. Continuing on Johnson speaks of how the nation really was affected by Kennedy being in office and his great over comings for the better of the nation. While listening to this speech one thing came to mind, and that at this exact time of the speech, how the people felt when losing a great president. If on man had made a  nation so different through great accomplishments that the whole nation would have pride in, then nothing should have the nation to stop and only remember the past, but really to look forward like Johnson said during the majority of the end of his speech. It was a heartening speech that Johnson have to congress to honor the late president as well as encouraging to move forward for America shouldn't just stop and fall apart.
