The president of the United States was JFK when I was in the sixth grade. My parents did not like him because they thought he was too young. He did not do much and then he died when I was in the eighth grade. I was in Indiana History class when the principal announced that Kennedy had been killed. He died in Houston, Texas from a gun shot. Seems that this guy named Oswald really did not like him. Oswald shot Kennedy from a large building that the motorcade passed.
Since this time, there have been many theories about how Kennedy was killed1.
Our next president was Lyndon Johnson who got us mixed up in the Vietname War. Kennedy got us there but Johnson made a real mess. Many men who would young and now old fought and are still fighting in that war. It never seems to end.
