JFK Assassinatoin


            
             November 22, 1963, will always be recognized as one of the saddest days in the history of the United States. That was the day that the promising political career of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was ended with the now infamous shots in Dallas, Texas. John F. Kennedy was traveling in an open top limousine in a motorcade traveling at approximately six miles an hour. While rounding a corner near the Texas School Book Depository, a shot rang out, and struck the President in the neck. This first shot passed through him and then proceeded to hit the passenger in front of him, John Connally, the Governor of Texas. A secret service agent, who was in the car behind them, ran to the vehicle but was too late to stop the second shot from also reaching the President. The second bullet hit President Kennedy in the back of his head, and propelled his head into his wife Jacqueline's lap, who was sitting at his side. When the secret service agent finally reached the car, he dove on top of both!.
             Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy and shielded them with his body to protect them from any further harm. As soon as the secret service agents realized what happened, they sped off, notified a nearby hospital that the Presidential limousine would be soon arriving with the seriously injured President of the United States. The hospital staff immediately began preparing for the Presidents arrival. Upon arrival, the doctors immediately performed surgery but the damage was too extensive and the President could not be saved. The thirty-fifth President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, died at 2:00 P.M. Eastern time on November 22, 1963, the victim of an assassin's bullet. The government authorized an extensive investigation of the assassination and through the "Warren Commission" report issued in September 1964, it was concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of the President. Even today, much debate continues as to whether or not this is indeed the truth.
