It was on this day in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while traveling through Dallas in a convertible. Sitting beside his wife Jacky and waving to the crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the iconic leader, it soon became a dark day in American history when the 35^th president of the United States was allegedly targeted and fatally shot at by Lee Harvey Oswald. With November 25^th declared as an official day of mourning by his successor to the presidency, Lyndon Johnson, be sure to take a moment to mark and remember the charismatic President Kennedy on this day.
