En route to the much anticipated Vienna Summit with Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev, President Kennedy paid a State Visit to Charles DeGaulle to engage in talks regarding French views on U.S. Foreign Policy and discuss differences with regards to NATO.

Here is a wrap-up of the days events for June 2nd, 1961 as reported by Leon Pearson and NBC Radio News.

In honor of Memorial day this year, I will be running some addresses honoring the dead and missing from wars we've been involved in.

Starting off with President Kennedy's Dedication of The Memorial To The Missing from May 23, 1963, given at Battery Park, New York.

A short address - but timely.

Don't forget the reason you have the day off.
