Dan in Miami is 100% correct. May I add that it probably was the closest we came to all out nuclear war. Our nuclear missiles were not only aimed, but were warmed up for immediate launch. Thank God the USSR backed down. Our threat to get rid of the missiles in Cuba was not an idol threat, we were ready to attack on it. My Dad was in the air force at the time it it was waken to everyone in his base when they were all asked to write their last will and testament.

In the mid-60s USA decided to deploy missiles in Turkey.The USSR took it as a threat to its security,and in answer,announced that it deploys the rockets in Cuba.America threatened that if it happens,USA will invade Cuba.The threat was answered by Nikita Khruschev,the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR,with his famous "We shall bury you".
For about 10 days,the world was on the verge of the nuclear war.
But finally,the leaders of both cuntries-Kennedy in the USA and Khruschev in the USSR-ompromised ; the USA did not deploy rockets in Turkey,and the USSR annuled the deployment of Soviet rockets in Cuba.

The Soviet Union put nuclear missles in Cuba.
More were on the way.
Kennedy (that would be JOHN . . . not Caroline) told the Soviet Union to pull them out and he put a naval blockade around Cuba.
A Russian ship was approaching. We locked on that ship . . . .
The world held its breath . . . .
The Soviet Union finally blinked . . . . and turned their ship around.
Did ALL the missles get removed?
THAT . . . . my friend . . . is the big question.
