Obama's visit to Cuba reminds me of the crisis. Anyone my age or older will remember it. I was 10. Obama was only a year old.
I remember there being a lot of tension. I don't remember asking my parents about it, but I remember one day in class asking my 5th grade teacher if there was going to be a war. Can't recall his reply but I think he told us we didn't need to worry.
