Dealey Plaza Rememberance Ceremony
On this exact spot, in this time and this place a great light was extinguished. It was as many have said for one brief and shining moment in the steady march of history a brilliant star that shone forth as a beacon of hope for all of mankind.
But just as a star whose life burned out millennia ago the light from this heavenly raiment continues to illuminate the best of human ambitions, desires, and dreams. For those of you who are younger and were not fortunate enough to have been alive while President Kennedy inspired this nation and the world, one need only view the photographs and watch the films to see how much the people loved this man.

However, it was not just the charm and charisma of John F. Kennedy that drew people to him, but it was the strength of his words which lit the fires of hope in the hearts of men and women around the world.
Indeed those words have survived beyond his mortal being and continue to draw us to his immortal soul. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy is now a legend for the ages and just as his life provided us with comfort against the apocalyptic darkness, so too will the resolution of the mystery surrounding his death serve to protect us from the long shadows of crises and conflict.
There are many people in the world who really don't understand or say they don't, what is the great issue between the Warren Commission apologists and the Assassination Research community. Let them come to THE GRASSY KNOLL. There are some who say that lies are the wave of the future. Let them come to THE GRASSY KNOLL. And there are even a few who say that it is true lies are evil, but it permits us to protect our national security. Let them come to THE GRASSY KNOLL!
This speech was given by Mark Taylor, a teacher from Olathe South High, Olathe, Kansas, at the Grassy Knoll in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 2003.
We want to encourage everyone to attend the Remembrance Service for President Kennedy on Sunday, November 20, at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, from noon to 12:30 PM. Special music and speakers will highlight this moving tribute to President John F. Kennedy.
