Abraham Lincoln (the 16th President), James A. Garfield (the 20th President), William McKinley (the 25th President) and John F. Kennedy (the 35th President), have all been assassinated in office, while Ronald Reagan came very close to being among them.
On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was open fired on by John Hinckley Jr. while exiting the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington D.C. A total of six shots were fired, one of them hitting President Reagan just below his left arm coming with in inches of his heart. Luckily, Reagan survived the attempt and on April 11 was released from the hospital to return to his Presidential duties. Reagan bounced back from this incident, leading our country into some of the best years it has seen.

This is really interesting. I didn't know that four presidents were assassinated, and that Ronald Reagan was almost killed too. I like the information you included, and how you included a picture too.
ReplyDeleteThis blog post is very interesting and well written. I knew that all 4 of those presidents had been assasinated, but I did'nt know that there was an attempt to kill Ronald Reagan. I agree he lead us into some of the best years, we are very lucky Reagan survived.
ReplyDeleteI really like your questions that you would have asked her. I think that they would really make her think and are just very good questions.
ReplyDeleteI like how well written your blog is. It’s very organized. I also didn’t know that there was an attempt to assassinate Reagan. He was defiantly a great president!
That was really well-written. I think it's funny how your name is Reagan and his last name is Reagan...lol
