Did you know that President John F. Kennedy was almost assassinated when he visited Springfield Illinois in October of 1962? He was riding in an open convertible car while parading through Springfield on his way to honor our 16th President Abraham Lincoln at his tomb. On route to Lincoln’s Tomb a rifle was spotted pointing out a window in a two story building towards the parade. I hope you guys enjoy the episode and please follow and rate the show.
