    John Fitzgerald Kennedy 35th President of the United States was mortally wounded on November 22, 1963, __ feet to the right of this marker as the Presidential car was headed toward the underpass to the west on Dallas' Elm Street. Firing from the window on the extreme right of the sixth floor of the building immediately northeast of this spot, the assassin also wounded critically, but not fatally, Governor John Connally of Texas, riding with the President. From this spot, the President was rushed to Parkland Hospital where he died. This marker commemorates the tragic loss of a great American, mourned by the Nation he served.
