I drove to Love Field to see Air Force One. We had to unload a gasket. I sat in the second row, by the window, and I completely broke down.

The rain had stopped when we left; the President wanted an open car to be close to the people. I surveyed the crowds, even climbing onto the presidential vehicle's rear bumper to be near Mrs. Kennedy, unsure of the onlookers' intentions. I was on the press bus, enjoying the view. There was something special about this trip, possibly because Jackie was there. My perspective of Dallas shifted; it wasn't cold, and the city seemed welcoming to Jackie, making it a celebration for them to see the First Lady, who'd never visited. Of course, it changed her life.

I learned about my uncle Jack's assassination when my mother picked me up from school and we saw the flag at half-mast. My father was distraught. The first person he called was the CIA desk chief, asking, "Did your people do this?" He then called Enrique Ruiz, a former Bay of Pigs Brigade commander and friend, asking the same question. CIA Director John McCollum visited our home that day and spent time with us. My father was devastated and walked around like a ghost for months. We hugged him under our yard's cedar tree, trying to comfort him during his grief.

Life has been challenging lately due to tensions between Linda and me over Lyndon's order to assassinate the president. It's been a hectic time, but we've managed to get through it. I’ve always been loyal to Lyndon, but this order is unforgettable. Reflecting on our past in Texas and the embarrassment Lyndon faced with Kennedy, I understand why he acted as he did. However, Lyndon is someone who prioritizes himself above all else. I felt pressured regarding the Henry Marshall situation, and I had to keep quiet due to blackmail. Many have mysteriously died in this mess, and it has caused me significant personal and financial distress. I’m left feeling disgusted with Lyndon, yet I also feel a sense of sympathy.

Dallas police, the one hand, they they were committing all of the resources to trying to solve the crime. they were ill equipped to handle this tsunami of reporters. Well, was questioned by a judge. However, I protested at that time that I was not allowed to leave a record. In bringing Oswald out, they were, of course, doing something that you would never see happen today, but they were trying to cooperate with the press with the understanding that there would not be questions shouted at him. Did you kill the president? I have not been charged with that. In fact, nobody has said that to me yet. The first thing I heard about it was when the newspaper reporters in the hall asked me that question. You have been.

I was at home after my lunch swim, about to return to the Justice Department, when the White House called. It was Ethel, my wife, who answered; it was J. Edgar Hoover. Hearing Hoover's name, I knew it wasn't good news. He told me the President had been shot, possibly fatally. The news was devastating. It was a shock, and it changed my life forever. My brother was the golden boy; if he could be killed, anything was possible. It instilled a sense of fatalism in me.

We called President Kennedy's mother in Hyannis. She addressed him as "Mr. President," even before Johnson felt comfortable using that title. Johnson became emotional, breaking down, and quickly handed the phone to Lady Bird.

The vice president and Mrs. Johnson greeted President and Mrs. Kennedy at Love Field. Large crowds surged around the President as he approached the fence. Mrs. Kennedy, unusually, went with him. We were aware of a Dallas group opposed to the President's policies, but their intentions were unknown. The crowd's density prevented us from getting closer. Someone suggested getting ahead of the motorcade for a better view. The President and First Lady then left the fence and proceeded to the limousine where Governor Connolly awaited them for the trip downtown.

My boss yelled at me to call the White House. The operator connected me to Robert Kennedy, who asked what was happening. I told him both President Kennedy and the governor had been shot—it was as bad as it could get. He hung up. Mrs. Kennedy knew immediately, when he fell into her lap, that the President was dead.

Captain Fritz reports that Lee has been shot multiple times. There is a man with a gun. Absolute panic is occurring in the basement of Dallas police headquarters. Detectives have drawn their guns. Oswald has been shot at point blank range in the stomach. He is shot.

Life has been challenging lately due to tensions between Linda and me over Lyndon's order to assassinate the president. It's been a hectic situation, but we’ve managed so far. I’ve always been loyal to Lyndon and followed his orders, but this one is unforgettable. The embarrassment he faced from Kennedy may have driven him to this decision. Lyndon is primarily focused on his own interests and tends to avoid confrontation. I’ve also been pressured regarding the Henry Marshall killing, facing blackmail to stay silent. A lot of people have mysteriously died in this situation, and it has taken a toll on my finances and family, leaving me feeling disgusted and frustrated.

A clean-cut young man picked up something the speaker dropped. He smiled, and because he was polite and young, she agreed when he asked to walk her home. That was how she met Lee Harvey Oswald for the first time. Oswald then said that if he stayed with her, there would be one less bullet fired at Kennedy. The speaker said her heart turned over because she thought it was a courageous thing to say.

At Parkland Hospital, Mrs. Kennedy clutched the President's body, refusing to let go. I covered him with my coat to get her to release him. Initial reports from the emergency room indicated the President was still alive, though Governor Connally was also injured. I was near the President's feet; I couldn't look at him for fear of fainting. I knew I needed to stay strong. A doctor urgently requested access, and people were asked to evacuate. Someone then inquired about the President's blood type. Mrs. Kennedy's stunned, "Do you mean he's alive?" was met with silence.

Lee Oswald has been shot in the stomach at point blank range in the basement of Dallas police headquarters. A man with a gun is present, causing absolute panic. Detectives have drawn their guns.

My father lying on the floor, my mother crying over him. I wanted to know if it was suicide or murder.

I recall entering the room with 28 others assembled by LBJ. We waited for Mrs. Kennedy, who had agreed to join us for the swearing-in but needed time to compose herself. When she arrived, the damage was evident; blood stained her dress and shoes. She appeared to be in shock, her expression serious and unsmiling. Mrs. Johnson offered her a change of clothes, but she refused, stating, "Let them see what they have done." The impact of the moment was profound.

The Dallas crowd was enthusiastic, and I was relieved that everyone was behaving. I told President Kennedy that Dallas clearly loved him. Then, almost instantly, I heard a noise. I looked at the President; his hands flew to his neck, and he slumped in his seat. He didn't speak, but his eyes…

Lee Oswald was shot in the stomach at point-blank range in the basement of Dallas police headquarters, causing absolute panic. Detectives drew their guns as a man with a gun was present.

President Kennedy died today in Dallas from a gunshot wound to the head. This is confirmed by two priests who were with him. I don't have further details about the assassination. We're trying to reach WBAP TV. Right now, I'm overwhelmed; I don't know what to say or do. It feels like the United States lost its innocence today. A press room is being set up, and Malcolm Kellgren, assistant press secretary, is visibly upset.

Two years ago in Paris, I was known as the man who accompanied Mrs. Kennedy. Traveling through Texas now, I get a similar feeling. People aren't curious about Linden and my attire. Mrs. Kennedy had a difficult time the previous four months, grieving the loss of baby Patrick. This Texas trip was her first public appearance outside the White House since, and it was uplifting for people to see her happy and smiling. Before this trip, we never publicly displayed affection. Afterward, we held hands and hugged openly, changing our relationship completely. I've never seen her happier. In Fort Worth, we were given a hat to protect the President from the rain, which he doesn't usually wear.

I don't remember the details of cheating or the shooting. I started remembering things clearly when facing death row, maybe a year or two later. The crime was beyond tragic, impacting not just the Kennedy family but also the public and victims. It was a nightmare for everyone involved.

I just saw the World Trade Center collapse. I was trying to figure out a way to get out of here. Where should I go? Oh my god. There's nothing but smoke out there. I'm coming inside. Oh my god. I just saw it just tumbled in on itself. I see nothing but smoke. I see nothing but smoke and ash. And I don't know where I

Remember John and Jackie Kennedy. That head movement you see in the Zapruder film was caused by a bullet. It looks like it's coming from up here. But Oswald's gun went off, echoing through Dealey Plaza. The echo traveled by the limo, up to the grassy knoll, hitting leaves and causing dust. 56 witnesses testified it was a gunshot because Kennedy's head immediately went over. The reason his head went over is because the echo went by the motorcade on the left, and he went, what was that? I heard on the news there was an echo, and Kennedy was asking Jackie what it was.
