Two years later John started having severe back troubles and he ended up having to have a very painful surgery, while john was recovering he wrote another best selling book called “profiles in courage”, which won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957.

the president put his arms up in defense and was hit in the back shoulder going all the way through the he was hit a second time in the back of the head, he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the nearest hospital. Twenty-four year old Lee Harvey Oswald was in a tall building and was arrested for the killing of John F Kennedy, but Lee was shot and fatally wounded two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby while being led to jail. After many hypothesis of how many shooters and where they were placed chief justice Earl Warren said that there was only one shooter. Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone, but speculation and debate over the assassination has persisted
John F Kennedy was a great president that has done great things for the country we live in today. He many more great plans for our country but his life was sadly ended too soon. He was such a great president that people still go the the spot he died at and they all gather there saying prayers for him .John may have been a sickly child and adult but he will be forever missed by the American
