On the 50th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy, the Newseum presents a real-time rebroadcast of CBS News coverage of the Nov. 22, 1963, shooting in Dallas.
Beginning with the first bulletin that shots were fired at the presidential motorcade, through Walter Cronkite's emotional announcement that Kennedy had died and continued reporting of the aftermath, visitors will be able to witness the news unfold as the nation did on that fateful day 50 years ago.
At the end of the broadcast, a special performance of "Taps" to commemorate the announcement of John F. Kennedy's death was performed by Jari Villanueva, Taps for Veterans, former Air Force bugler at Arlington National Cemetery and bugle historian.
Taps for Veterans is a national web-based organization led by former military musicians and active nad retired military veterans who acutely understand the important of properly sounding Taps, our "National Song of Remembrance," as a way of expressing the nation's gratitude for a veterans service. Through its resources, including an online directory of qualified buglers across the country, Taps for Veterans helps meet the needs of veterans and their families whodesire a bugler by connecting competent, trained buglers with those seeking their services when a military bugler is not available.
