Topic: John F. Kenedy Assassinated This Day

[Ken (OP)]

I witnessed this (on TV) and the events that followed as they happened.
When Kennedy was shot the plant where I was working, General Dynamics, announced the event to us and shut down production for a brief time.

Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime but was shot and killed two days later by Jack Ruby before he could be put on trial. The FBI, the Warren Commission, and the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald was the assassin, with the HSCA allowing for the probability of conspiracy based on disputed acoustic evidence. The event proved to be an important moment in U.S. history because of its impact on the nation and the ensuing political repercussions. Today, Kennedy continues to rank highly in public opinion ratings of former U.S. presidents.

He was one of only a few presidents who championed civil rights and liberties for all Americans.
