America was never the same after John F. Kennedy. Imagine if he had lived.

That’s the quality of a unique individual, once they leave the party’s over.

My mom was 9, in third grade. She talked about this day her whole life and asked me to find this video many times. Her whole class went to the see the President’s speech. My grandpa worked for the Army Corps of Engineers. They lived in camp housing in Lewiston during the building of the dam. She always said he built the podium the president stood behind during his speech, but after watching this video I feel like it’s more likely that he built the stage from which the speech was given. That day was one of her fondest childhood memories. ❤❤❤

I cant wait till the AI and graphics gets so good that we can make all this old footage into 4K and clear. Kennedy was a celebrity star

If the Secret Service had been on the cars two rear bumper stands the shots would have been blocked. JFK did not want them there because he wanted himself and Jackie to be seen. It was always said that the rear bumper stands were not in the right place to protect the President anyway. This video clearly shows where the rear bumper stands were and would have protected the President. Also, it was always very obtuse about how Clint Hill got onto the back of the car with Jackie. Earlier windows of the footage show him riding on the side of the back up car. Somehow he managed to run up and jump on JFK's car stepping onto the bumper footstand and leaping onto the back of the car. Many accounts had him somehow walking along. So many strange stories. Strange these bumper stands were never brought up or revealed in the hundreds and hundreds of footage I saw about the assasination. The bumper stands that were not there are there. Very mysterious. The hand rail to hang on is clearly visible on the right side of the car. More disproven conspiracy stories. It just goes on and on. Emory Roberts rode shotgun in the back up car head of the Secret Service Detail that day at Dealey Plaza. When the President got shot, Emory Roberts was in charge thereafter. Nobody ever talks about that. He took charge of everything, and immediately got Johnson onto Air Force One to leave Dallas and be sworn in going to Washington or if necessary a safe place to protect him. Emory was my neighbor in Wheaton, Md. on Holdridge Rd. See Dealey Plaza - The End of Camelot.
