Presidential Libraries

From the beaches of South Boston, I can look across the harbor and see the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. I have made the pilgrimage to ten of the fourteen. Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower, and Obama's libraries remain on my bucket list.

These collections tell the story of great and flawed men, molded by the times in which they served. Each remind me of my obligation to do the same.

"My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope."

- Herbert Hoover
