I just finish watching one of the latest documentaries on President Kennedy's last days; JFK; The Final Hours.
I have always been memerized by anything surrounding John F. Kennedy, Jackie and their closest family.
In a few days it'll be 50 years since that tragic day in Dallas, Texas when President Kennedy fell assessinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, or was it?
Fifty years later, we are still searching for answers to so many questions rooted in that fatidic day.
I liked this documentary by NatGeo because it shows never before seen footage of President Kenndy and his wife during their stop in San Antonio, the motorcade through downtown and his visit and speech at the Brooks Air Force Base (Now Brooks City-Base).
My connection with it is that I work just a few yards from where President Kennedy visited on November 21, 1963 about 24 hours before his demise in Dallas.
I would like to buy the footage in film or in a DVD format to watch again and again.
I was impressed by Mrs Kennedy speaking in spanish at a LULAC event in Houston, later the same day. The quality of the footage is also impressive, remarkably clear and vivid unlike other footage that we are used to see, grainy and mostly in black and white. I noticed that when Mrs Kennedy spoke there she was not reading from any script, she had been practicinf her spanish on the flight from Washington hours earlier, according to Clayton Hill, Secret Service memeber of Mr President and Mrs President personal detail. I have always shown gratitud and personal respect for a person who is not of latin or hispanic descent and takes the time to address me in my language, or at least, makes the effort to speak in spanish.
Mrs Kennedy had been, if memory doesn't fail, in Paris and had made a great impression there by speaking french to unsuspected dignataries.
I can't help by shed my own tears as well when I see the people that had, just hours earlier, seen and shaken President Kennedy and Mrs Kennedy's hands during their trip to San Antonio, Houston and Forth Worth when they react to the news of Kennedy's assessination.
