Ford’s Second Assassination Attempt
Is it possible that, just a little more than two weeks after Ford’s first assassination attempt, someone else attempted to shoot him? Sara Jane Moore was the target of the attempted assassination this time. She drew her revolver and fired one shot at Ford, striking him in the leg. When her bullet didn’t hit him, she was caught by a former marine before she could fire another. Fortunately, the bullet did not strike the president, but it did strike and hurt a cab driver.

Lyndon B. Johnson – 140.6
Following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the presidency of the United States, and one of the first things he did was boost the United States military presence in Vietnam. He was in the military from 1963 to 1969, and he made a lasting effect throughout his time there. As a civil rights activist, he was well-known for pushing the country and not taking anything lightly, as well as for putting civil rights, gun, welfare, and social security legislation into effect.
