Mourning a President: Memories of a Sentinel

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented a conversation with retired U.S. Marine Corps officer, Major William F. Lee, in conjunction with the special exhibit, “Mourning a President.” As a Marine lieutenant stationed in Washington, D.C., in 1963, Lee commanded the Silent Drill Platoon and led numerous ceremonies at the White House and Camp David during the Kennedy years. After the assassination, he led "Death Watch" rotations at the White House and in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. The program was moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin.

This presentation took place at the Museum on November 29, 2017.
