JFK Memorial Fort Worth

Before President Kennedy's fateful visit to Dallas, he stayed overnight at the Hotel Texas (now part of the Hilton chain). Beside the hotel is a Kennedy Memorial. The JFK Tribute was opened in November 2012.
Despite the wind and rain we wandered around Fort Worth yesterday and visited the memorial, a day not unlike the one 50 years ago when President Kennedy addressed the crowd at this spot before returning to the hotel for a Chamber of Commerce Breakfast.
