Meet Lee Harvey Oswald. In 1964 a special commission headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren decided that Oswald, acting alone, had shot and killed President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. He is buried in Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park in Texas.
Now, I'm sure why I find this so interesting, but a slab in the ground with the word, "Oswald" on it doesn't seem to do enough justice for a man who changed American history the way that he did. But what else could be done for the most infamous man in the United States? Make a plaster cast of him? Put him in a museum? I understand that he should not be celebrated in anyway, but I think an opportunity has been missed. No date; no "in memory of..." It's cryptic and fascinating.
