JFK Assassination – “In Dallas Texas, three shots were fired…” – (November 22, 1963) – EP 3

He was a man in the prime of life when he traveled to Dallas, Texas in November 1963, on a routine political fence-mending mission to help shore up his chances for re-election as president the following year. At about twenty-five minutes past noon on November 22, he was riding in an open convertible with his wife through downtown Dallas, waving to cheering crowds, when the unthinkable occurred – an unforgettable event that would haunt and define the turbulent decade to come.
