The missile crisis

When my father was a young boy, he was sitting in his kitchen one day after school. All of a sudden he heard President Kennedy come on the radio. This was a time during the Cold War when the missile crisis was happening.President Kennedy addressed the Russians on the radio, and ordered Russia to stop making missiles and taking them to cuba. President Kennedy threatened the Russians. My father told me that this announcement scared all of the people, because they thought that their was a nuclear war in the midst. My father remembers his being scared of what was to come, even though he was a young boy. The people were also frightened because they were unsure of what the United States was going to decide to do, if the Russians continued to take missiles into Cuba.
