I remember it well. From our home in Alabama we could see the trains transporting troops and equipment to Florida in preparation of a possible invasion of Cuba, even though the President said there would be no invasion.
I was glad Kennedy was POTUS at that time. It was later that we realized that our President had a great deal to do with causing the crisis.
