A sad, memorable day for the world. I was privileged to tour the plane he rode in that memorable day. Learned how they removed 2 rear seats to accommodate his casket as they didn't want to put him in the cargo hold and how Jackie sat next to it.

Dallas - JFK Title Page

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, just before 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time in Dealey Plaza. Kennedy was fatally shot while riding with his wife Jacqueline in a Presidential motorcade.

When the Presidential limousine turned and passed the Texas School book Depository and continued down Elm Street, shots were fired at Kennedy; a clear majority of witnesses recalled hearing three shots.

The ten-month investigation of the Warren Commission of 1963–1964, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) of 1976–1979, and other government investigations concluded that the President was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and defector to the Soviet Union.

Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested an hour and 20 minutes after the assassination for killing a Dallas police officer, J. D. Tippit, who had spotted Oswald walking along a sidewalk in the residential neighborhood of Oak Cliff. Oswald was captured in a nearby movie theater after he was seen sneaking into the theater without buying a ticket.

Oswald resisted, attempting to shoot the arresting officer, M.N. McDonald, with a pistol, and was struck and forcibly restrained by the police. He was charged with the murders of Tippit and Kennedy later that night. Oswald's case never came to trial because two days later, during an intended transfer to county facilities on Sunday morning the 24th, Oswald was shot and killed on live television in the basement of the Dallas Police station. His murderer was a local nightclub owner with connections to organized crime named Jack Ruby.

The staff at Parkland Hospital's Trauma Room 1 who treated Kennedy observed that his condition was "moribund", meaning that he had no chance of survival upon arriving at the hospital. The President's personal physician determined the head wound was the cause of death and signed President Kennedy's death certificate.

“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.”
