Over a holiday week that commemorates the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, JFK Facts highlighted the testimony of living witnesses to the death and investigations into the assassination of Commander in Chief and President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

The hearing was held on May 20 before the Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets, chaired by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R.-Fla.). Among those testifying were a Secret Service agent, a doctor who tended to JFK at Parkland Memorial Hospital, and an investigator who specializes in discrepancies in the medical evidence.
