John F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. He graduated from Harvard University in 1940 and entered into the United States Navy. In 1943 his boat was sank by a Japanese destroyer. He assumed command and led the survivors through the water to safety despite his serious injuries (John F. Kennedy: Thirty-Fifth President).

Even today, new evidence is being uncovered or released. As a nation, we are far from totally understanding what truly happened that dreary day in November, 1963.

Shortly after the slaying, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was booked, finger printed and questioned. He maintained he was a "patsy", meaning that he was set up or framed.

Meanwhile, Governor Connally, who was riding in the front passenger seat of Kennedy's limousine heard the shots and first turned around to his right to try to see what was happening to the President.
