John F. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. I learned about this in a museum In Dallas called The Sixth Floor, where the event actually happened. John F. Kennedy was the youngest president to be elected. He was one of our best presidents since Abraham Lincoln. If he hadn’t been shot, the world would be different. He was in office from 1961 to 1963, the year he visited Dallas. The motorcade took place in Dallas, outside a school book storage place. At 12:30, gun shots rang out. One struck JFK in the neck, the second missed, and the third hit him in the head, killing him. The crowd was shocked. The presidential limousine rushed him to the nearest hospital. At 1:00, the president was dead. Many people were sad, and some even cried.
Today, there is a memorial with his name carved in gold letters and is 200 yards from where he was killed. The museum that I visited in Dallas is on the 6th floor and there are exhibits on JFK. What I liked about this museum is the view from the sixth floor. You can actually see the street where the motorcade took place and the grassy knoll, which looks the same as it did in the sixties.

This morning, we were in Fort Worth, Now, we have just left Dallas. We are on our way to my mom’s friend, Ty, but we call him Mr. Ty. We ate at Ihop for breakfast before our day in Dallas. I had a breakfast sampler, which is made up of ham, eggs, sausage, and hash browns with pancakes on the side. I will put in pictures later. It was a delicious breakfast.
