JFK Murder

Dear grampa,
For my history class i have to ask you a couple questions about the murder of John F. Kennedy. First, i'll tell you what i know about it. Kennedy was murdered in 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. He was shot in the head and neck. One of the bullets hit Governor John Connelly. Oswald shot Kennedy from a building where he worked that looked down on where the president was riding in a convertible car. Oswald was arrested and killed two days later by Jack Ruby. There are several people who think that JFK's murder was a conspiracy while other think it was only Oswald who was involved. What is you opinion? How would you describe the impact that John F. Kennedy's death had on the country?

Response: There is no way that John F. Kennedy's murder was a conspiracy. It was one guy, Lee Harvey Oswald, he's the only one who did it. The only way it could have been a conspiracy is if someone else in politics had hired Oswald to kill the president. Everyone was shocked and people were sad. America loved Kennedy as a president. There was a famous picture of his son saluting Kennedy's casket after he was murdered.
