JFK Bunker

Our 2008 Florida "Road trip" has made posting photos a challenge only due to a whirlwind of activity...... Yesterday we toured this historic site. This image is of the Kennedy Bunker, JFK's fallout shelter built during the Cold War. In the early 1960's, JFK's summer White House was in Palm Beach, Florida. Palm Beach was the Kennedy Clan's escape from winter throughout JFK's life, including his years as persident. This bunker built on Peanut Island off Palm Beach was top secret and an important command post during the era of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
