The Assassination of JFK-- Part 2


8. Texas Governor John Connally Jr. received multiple gunshot wounds.

9. A priest administered the last rites to the first Roman Catholic U.S. president.

10. This was the fourth presidential assassination in a nation that was less than 200 years old.

11. It was the first since the Secret Service began protecting presidents.

12. The Service scuffled with Dallas police for control of the president's casket.

13. Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office aboard Air Force One.

14. He became president 99 minutes after Kennedy's death.

I have to wonder if Johnson had gone along with the trip or flew to Dallas to be sworn in?

Fifty Years Ago.
