Even casual history buffs know a few things about Dallas’s Dealey Plaza and the day of November 22nd, 1963. John F. Kennedy next to Jackie in the limo, with Texas governor John Connally in front of him. Orville Nix filming from atop a concrete partition near the grassy knoll, Abraham Zapruder recording from the opposite perspective, and Oswald hidden at a sixth-floor window, having a whole view from above.
However, fewer people know the terrible, often gory details of what happened immediately afterward. Here are 7 tales from Parkland Memorial Hospital, Kennedy’s next, but also final, stop that horrible day.

It is so sad the first a Great President was assassinated , and that his would be killer killed, so that no one would really know who was responsible for this tragedy even after all these years
Regardless of circumstances these many years later, still the biggest travesty in our wonderful country’s history. Beyond sad…power politics greed and ultimately murder of one of the most caring and brilliant man in the world. Johnson really wanted that Presidency and look what he did. Despicable.
How can we believe any of this when you don’t even know the date that he was killed?
I was in class at St. Patrick elementary school when Sister Angela came in and told us of the horror!
Thank you for this information that i am pretty sure no one really knew That was a day that I REMEMBER WAS HORRIBLE. That was a day for History and it was History.
