What If JFK had lived? Where would he be now ?

My bet would be the stroke ward of the Bethesda Naval Medical Centre, depending on whether or not he in fact had a stroke, since he would have been something like 85 now.

Am sure a certain former Ambassador who was the final American Ambassador to the Former Iranian Shah's Court is there since he had a stroke that paralyzed him on his right side.

1. dead due to illness

I am sorry to say Val but he was a sick man, and he would have died like in the late 60's or 70's.

2. Or In the Arlington National Graveyard

possibly with the same "eternal flame" marking his grave.

BTW I found out through "Find A Grave" that one of the X or Ex hostages who was "let go" early because he was afflicted with MS and DIED in 2002 due to complications from that condition was also buried there and I thought primarily military types and astronauts were buried there.

On edit as for the other John as in former Beatle John Lennon, I bet he would have ended up in an urn on Yoko's desk or something as Mark Chapman may have "offed" him sooner or later. :(

4. or the heroes of "noncombat operations" such as the tragically ill fated
"Operation Eagle's Claw" or at least 3 of the 8 men who burned to death and literally died in the attempt to save the hostages in Iran in 1980.

They were if I could remember Richard "Rick," Bakke, Harold "Hal," Lewis and Joel Mayo.
