Sunny, warm in the afternoon, 50's, rain shower about 1030pm and cooler. Clifton, Gerald, the girls, and I went over to Mother's for dinner after church and Sunday School...stopped at Marilyn's a minute at night. Marilyn sang in church. Mother gave me a white sweater and scarf for birthday.
Comment: Life goes on but almost didn't.....On this day on Okinawa: At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Air Force crews on Okinawa were ordered to launch 32 missiles, each carrying a large nuclear warhead. Only caution and the common sense and decisive action of the line personnel receiving those orders prevented the launches—and averted the nuclear war that most likely would have ensued.

I was stationed there in 1958 and 1959 and knew we had nukes there because of the Kadena SAC Base
