- President John Fitzgerald Kennedy made a visit to San Diego on June 6, 1963, just a few months before he was tragically assassinated. This 30-minute News 8 special includes some of the highlights of Kennedy's trip from the cheers at his arrival to the presidential motorcade which made its way through San Diego along El Cajon Boulevard. San Diegans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of JFK as marching bands played.
President John F. Kennedy next made his way to San Diego State College's commencement where he was given an honorary doctor of law degree. Kennedy also delivered a commencement address to about 30,000 people at San Diego State University's Aztec Bowl. Also on President Kennedy's itinerary was a stop at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego where he was greeted by a 21-gun salute, visited receiving barracks, observed drills, and addressed military personnel. www.cbs8.com/article/news/loc...
John Kennedy had everything but time. Truly one of our best.
What a sad comment. Sad, but true.
Now THIS was a real man and a GREAT President...will miss him forever. 💔
My God, can you just imagine how the mid 60s to the late 60s would have unfolded with our Beloved President Kennedy at the helm!
@@raulmacias1311 that's it exactly... EVERYTHING would have been different AND mainly Vietnam would have ended soon as he was planning to get out
@@raulmacias1311😮😮
The image of Kennedy was a combination of natural ease and firm delivery. As far as a "real" man, he had his flaws...and couldn't stop a bullet.
God plz bless Jfk ETERNALLY.. amen
I was attending basis electronic school at U S M C Recruit Depot San Diego Cal. I saw President John F. Kennedy when He visited U S M C Recruit Depot San Diego Cal. 6-6-1963. " SEMPER FI "
Please tell us about it. I wasn't alive then but I have always been fascinated by this man.
Watching Him Ride In That Open Motorcade Haunts Me.. What A Profound Lost..
Same here, it gave me the chills! All JFK wanted to do was serve the American people and make the country better. On that day he just wanted the people to be able to see him so he didn’t seem like just another untouchable politician. He did not deserve that and especially Jackie!! Idk how she kept it together (obviously the day of and maybe some of the next day she was in complete shock) because I think I would’ve lost my damn mind!!
My mother, brother and I were there at SDSU in the stadium. I was four years old and we were near the helicopter. My mother hoisted me up on her shoulder to see him. He stopped at the top of the helicopter stairs and turned and waved. My mother said, “Wave to President Kennedy!” I waved and in my child’s mind, I thought he looked right at me and waved back. Who knew that a only a few months later we would hear the terrible news that he had been killed? I still remember my parents crying in their recliners as my brother and I watched Walter Cronkite on our old black and white Zenith. It was a dark, dark day.
You’ve got me over here teary eyed reading your comment because reading it and picturing it in my head made me immediately think of how JFK Jr saluted his father’s casket as it went by. Every time I see that footage it just breaks my heart. America lost one of the best Presidents we’d ever have in such a public and gruesome way but that JFK Jr and Catherine lost their father at such a young age, that they didn’t completely understand what happened and why their dad was gone, but that they very unfortunately have to endure the fact that there is footage of their father being murdered to which I’m sure they watched at least once in their lives after being old enough to understand what happened to him. I couldn’t even imagine there being footage of my dad’s violently gruesome murder that my mother watched his life be taken and being so traumatized by being covered in his blood, skull fragments and brain matter, holding him as he takes his last breaths.
The most fascinated, popular and most of all THE FAMOUS PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD, there's no doubts at all❤
I was there with my mom and grandpa. Six years old and remember like it was yesterday.The day was wonderful and full of pride like no other. A day I will never forget
I was an 11 year old sixth grader in San Diego in the autumn of 1963. One of the girls in our class had met President Kennedy on this June 6th visit to our fair city. On November 22 , when our teacher announced that JFK had been killed in Dallas, she shrieked and began sobbing. It was a riveting, momentous event in my young life, and I still have the fragile, yellowing newspaper articles from those somber days as the nation mourned...
Like you, I was also an eleven year old at that momentous time. But unlike you, I'm a Canadian. Our family was living in Toronto. My father was a veteran of WWII and had, like all allied soldiers in Europe, served under General Eisenhower. He felt a great admiration for Kennedy and was deeply distraught at the news of his death in that sad month of November. Not only did your country mourn the loss of such a gifted and impassioned leader, the free world too mourned. Let's hope that from among our youth, individuals sharing the same vitality and vision of Kennedy, come forward and lead us through these profound challenges we face today. God willing.
God bless San Diego for treating our best president ever good
Unlike in Dallas, Texas, there was "live" television coverage of the actual motorcade!
🤔
My grade school class was part of the crowd that greeted President Kennedy that day. I was eight years old, and still remember his smile and wave as he passed us. A few months later, we were crushed to learn he had been killed. Kids were crying when they sent us home for the day.
THE MOST POPULAR, FASCINATED, AND THE FAMOUS P OF THE. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, HE. IS INCOMPARABLE LEADER. OF ALL TIMES. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Fantastic speeches always
It was crazy how the president just rode around in a completely open car. We all know what happened later that year in that open car 😥😭
So true. No more convertibles, that’s for sure.
@@Mark-yy2py it wouldnt make any difference . The globalist cabal would have found other ways to kill President Kennedy
The secret service advised repeatedly to not travel around in that vehicle. He rejected that advice and ordered secret service personnel to keep their distance during motorcades.
I was there on the sidewalk where the motorcade stopped to watch a high school chorus sing.. I was 12 years old.
Wow-never saw this before. In view of what happened in Dallas-its kinda eerie!
My mom and her three sisters (my 3 aunts) were little girls in 1963 in San Diego.
I remember being told that my oldest sister caught a small flag he threw out to children at that motorcade. I was a baby then. We lived in San Diego and Mom were at the hair salon then as it passed.
He is such a star when appears in the doorway and he knows it😊
President Kennedy was truly fantastic what a great loss.!
Cursed be those wretched assassins.
They all dead now...
Yes it was assassins.
Once upon a time, there was a President.
Blaze Starr
The celebrated stripper told People magazine in 1989 that she had a brief affair with Kennedy before he became President which she’d hoped to continue once he was elected. The famed burlesque dancer is said to have been disappointed when the Cuban Missile Crisis got in the way of her dalliance with the President in the Lincoln Room.
The pair first met in 1954 when JFK, then a Congressman, would visit her Maryland strip club, Crossroads.
In an interview in 1989, Starr described Kennedy as “very quick and very wild,” adding “he knew exactly what he was doing with girls, so it didn’t take him long. No, that bad back didn’t faze him.”
A lot of ceremonies, in the motorcade similar to Dallas. He expected Dallas to go smoothly, like this event. 😔😪
I thought the EXACT same thing!
Similar but not the same. The Media wasn't allowed to ride in front on trucks like this motorcade
Nothing like American history 🇺🇸 ...lots to be proud of 😅
Thanks
No one would believe how far we've fallen.
Where are the teleprompter screens? Where is the hidden ear mic? Where was the ramp to make the President appear taller? Where is the Republican Party member to refute the President's comments. Oh never mind, it was just the handsome, articulate, kind John Fitzgerald Kennedy who was loved dearly by what once was the greatest nation on earth.
If the Secret Service had been on the cars two rear bumper foot stands with hand griips the shots would have been blocked. JFK did not want them there because he wanted himself and Jackie to be seen. It was always said that the rear bumper foot stands were not in the right place to protect the President anyway. This video clearly shows where the rear bumper foot stands were and would have protected the President.
Also, it was always very obtuse about how Clint Hill got onto the back of the car with Jackie. Earlier windows of the footage show him riding on the side of the back up car. Somehow he managed to run up and jump on JFK's car stepping onto the bumper footstand and leaping onto the back of the car. Many accounts had him somehow walking along. So many strange stories.
Strange these bumper stands were never brought up or revealed in the hundreds and hundreds of footage and photos I saw about the assasination. The bumper stands that were not there are there. Very mysterious. The hand rail to hang on is clearly visible on the right side of the car. More disproven conspiracy stories. It just goes on and on.
Emory Roberts rode shotgun in the back up car head of the Secret Service Detail that day at Dealey Plaza. When the President got shot, Emory Roberts was in charge thereafter. Nobody ever talks about that. He took charge of everything, and immediately got Johnson onto Air Force One to leave Dallas and be sworn in going to Washington or if necessary a safe place to protect him. Emory was my neighbor in Wheaton, Md. on Holdridge Rd.
Most of this is in Dealey Plaza - The End of Camelot
In the early morning it was scheduled to rain in Dallas and the Secret Service was setting up to install the canopy on the car. The forecast changed and the President wanted to be seen by the crowds, and besides the President did not want ir put on. So it was not put on.
So as to not make JFK negligent in his death, it was bandied about that there were no foot stands on the rear of the car for Secret Service to ride on. Clearly you can see two foot stands on the rear bumper of the car with handrails to hang on. Clint Hills is stepping on one to get onto the back of the car to be with Jackie. There is just bogus story after bogus story surrounding JFK's assasination.
This is real good.
I would like to think a man like him could straighten out the mess we are in today but I have my doubts that even he could do it.
I was a young boy when he came to S.D. S.D. was a cool city then.

Class!
If the Marines had guarded the president, nothing would've happened to him!
You are so stupid. Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine. Green Berets or Rangers would have been better protection.
A Marine killed him. Lee Harvey Oswald. Were you asleep in American history class?
10:01, This is nice💯
A great President.
Marlene Dietrich's daughter Maria Riva claimed that her mother not only had an affair with Kennedy family patriarch Joe Kennedy, but also with his son Jack in the White House.
The German actress is said to have accepted an invitation to drinks with the President in September 1963 while she was in D.C performing a one-woman show. Then 60 years old, she is said to have claimed that Kennedy made a “clumsy pass” at her before remarking that they didn’t have much time before her show began in 30 minutes.
Dietrich is reported to have told her friend Gore Vidal that the encounter lasted 20 minutes before she was forced to wake Kennedy up to show her the way out of the White House. Kennedy’s main concern after the extramarital rendezvous? Whether Dietrich had also slept with his father, about which she is believed to have lied.
Gas is 29 cents a gallon
And a full-size San Diego house could be bought for about $15k.
Actually that would be George Washington..he is top 10 list no doubt
Good
Loved this so much! Makes me feel so patriotic and then i think, a marine from Pendelton killed our beloved President. How does this happen.
☘️🌈❤️
At 7:37, I prefer to think of him telling himself upon being greeted by the State College's Board of Dignitaries..."What's going on here?! Have we arrived on the set of a Marx Brothers film?!?
Whatever it is..uh.. I'm against it!"
Was that the same car that he was killed in?
Yes - it is! The presidental limousine.
All those tanks with thick armor on his disposal and instead rides in a convertible with a bunch of secret service that technically didn’t do their job
Remember when Presidents were like Gods? Kennedy, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower?
San Diego State College's commencement where he/JFK was given an honorary doctor of law degree. Further validation that the planners never fail to deliver in regards to humor, always a punch line with the script writers. The S's advise their prey that he's been invited to California to receive an honorary law degree from a,... a State College - while in the shadows they are rolling with laughter as JFK acquiesces to their suggestion/demand - clearly the real motivation for this trip was a rehearsal for November, in so doing accustoming J.F.K to the logistics that he's soon to encounter in Dallas. What we are witnessing here is the choreographing for the trip to Dallas.
GREAT PRESIDENT
George Washington no Washington no America
