__What I Think...__
===I think that he helped the country and that he died a hero. He had proposed a tax cut and pushed civil rights and tried to stop the spread of Communism. He helped the nation in many ways and that's why I think he is a hero not a villain. ===

__One Event is...__ <[|American Experience]
===<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">In 1941 Kennedy joined the Navy and after two years he became a certified American Hero. He became an American hero by keeping his men safe behind enemy lines when their boat was rammed and sunk by a Japanese vessel. In 1946 his father urged him to turn his heroic status into a Massachusetts Congressional chair. ===

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__Another Event is...__ [|History Learning Site]
===<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When he nearly tore the democrats and the republicans apart by opposing the 1957 civil rights act. The act was introduced by Eisenhower to ensure that all African Americans could exercise their right to vote. Later during the presidential campaign after he was nominated he made it clear through his speeches that he was a supporter of civil rights. ===

===<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">In 1963 America tried building democratic Firewall against communism in South Vietnam. Their president was Ngo Dinh Diem, he ran the nation like fiefdom, or as if he were the lord of that country. Then many Vietnamese gravitated towards communism. Kennedy struggled to get that Ngo Dinh Diem and all communists under control. Then 3 months after his inauguration Cuba began ruled with communism by Fidel Castro so America decided to invade Cuba. After Kennedy approved it on April 17, 1961 the invasion started. But they were vastly outnumbered and Kennedy had failed to get air support so the mission failed. ===

Kennedy was traveling in a motorcade, or a parade of cars, through Dallas, Texas from the airport to the city center in a main business area of the city. When shots were fired from a window overlooking the road. Kennedy was shot in the head and throat and Governor Connally was shot in the back. Kennedy's limousine was rushed to Parlands Hospital. He was alive when he was admitted but 35 minutes after the shooting he passed away. Governor Conally was severly injured but did survive. The shooter was said to be Lee Harvey Oswald. Later a policeman approached Oswald for suspision but Oswald killed the policeman. Two days after the shooting Oswald couldn't be questioned because he was shot by a night club owner, Jack Ruby.Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:00 pm that day and was buried in Arlington National Cemetary.
