Yesterday was the birthday of President John F. Kennedy. I will always remember when he was assassinated because I was four-years-old at the time and I remember my mom crying over the fact that he had been fatally shot in Dallas, Texas.
I asked her if he was related to us because I couldn’t understand why she was crying about this. I’ll always remember that it made her laugh when I asked that.
I’ve been to the Texas School Book Depository, which was where Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly shot President Kennedy. After taking a tour and seeing where Oswald supposedly shot J.F.K., I’ve never believed that he was the one who killed him.
Below are six links to online articles about the assassination of J.F.K. and a video with Walter Cronkite announcing the shocking news back in 1963.
Below that are the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog next week.
