"In this week of Thanksgiving, there is much for which we can be grateful, as we look back to where we stood only four weeks ago. The unity of this hemisphere, the support of our allies, and the calm determination of the American people. These qualities may be tested many more times in this decade."

―John F. Kennedy

Background

In January 1961, President Kennedy commissioned the construction of an underground bunker deep beneath the White House's living quarters, to be used to house his brother Robert F. Kennedy and help him hone his control over his mutation. Code-named "Cocoon", this bunker was designed under the pretense of constructing private living quarters for Robert during Jackie Kennedy's extensive renovations to the Oval Office's living quarters.
