JFK was in Nebraska where he spent the morning touring the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base. He presented a plaque to the commanders of the base and gave a two minute speech upon his departure complimenting the SAC on their performance in providing air cover and support during the Cuban missile crisis two months before.
