Never in so short a time has so much been accomplished that is good and great for our country. These months confirm the wisdom of our fallen leader and the vision of President Kennedy lives on in the character, the capability and the courage of his team mate of his choice. With all the sincerity in my soul, I say that God did bless America on that day four years ago in Los Angeles, when John F. Kennedy said, 'I need you, Lyndon Johnson' and on November the 3rd the American people echoed that call, 'We need you, President Lyndon B. Johnson.'" Washington DC President Johnson going for a walk with his two Beagle dogs and Lady Bird at his side. As President Johnson and his entourage passing the White House in the back ground. | |
