I'm taking flowers to the JFK memorial at Dealy Plaza
About a year ago I won a gift certificate from a flower shop and I haven't used it yet. I thought I would stop by the flower shop on my way down to Dealy Plaza and pick up some flowers to take with me. On the card I want to write "From our family to the Kennedy family, our thoughts and prayers are with you." and sign it from the Democratic Underground. Any objections?

3. I think that is a nice idea
I might go down there later today. I'm sure it will be crowded. Taking my son to the 6th floor museum next week. If I go today, I'll also bring some flowers.

4. A magnificent idea. Thanks, Bronco69.
The last Senator to be elected President in my lifetime. I can remember staying up all night as a teenager to watch the 1960 Democratic convention. It is a memory I will always cherish.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute to JFK and for your thoughtfulness in signing the card in the name of Democratic Underground.

7. None here
If I had any cash to spare I'd buy some myself and do the same.

10. You're all very welcome
It's the least I can do. You have all been so kind to me and I know that a lot of you can't make it to Dallas, so I'll be the DU representative. :-)

11. Way to go Bronco
Will you report back after your trip what it is like there today?
No ones talking much about Kennedy or is there a better forum. I watched the ABC deal and it seemed kind of bogus. They didn't talk about the fatal head shot.
I did see one part on the love affair of Judy Baker and Lee Harvey Oswald. A lot of new information I hadn't seen yet. The whole twisted story of the CIA making a killer cancer virus for Castro. Judy claimed that Oswald wanted to prevent the assassination. She was quiet for 40 years.

12. Yes, I'll report back.
Hopefully I won't run into any freepers or the phelps gang, but if I do, I'll be sure to let them know what I think.

14. Great idea.
I'll be taking my few boys over to Arlington Cemetary in about an hour to pay our respects as well.
