Today's Historical Reminder
... the President has been shot ...
... the President has been shot ...
OTD, September 6, in 1901 President William McKinley, our 25th US President, was assassinated. Leon Czolgosze, an anarchist (someone who hates government) shot McKinley two times in the stomach area. Eight days later, when McKinley died on September 14, Theodore Roosevelt, a Spanish-American War hero, became President. McKinley was the last US President to have served in the military during the Civil War - rising from the rank of Private to Major in the Union Army.
