John Jacob Jingle Hiemer Schmidt on WWII in HD
There were several great primary sources in this video. The entire video was a primary source because it was composed of autobiographies from soldiers that had fought in the war. Some of those include Charles Sheffel, Rockie Blunt, and Jack Yusen. The most interesting part of the video was about the battle on the island of Saipan because after the Americans had secured the island, the Japanese civilians all becan killing themselves because of the fear that their goverment had instilled in them about the Americans. Over 10,000 Japanese civilians, women and children, died in one day due to mass suicide. Why did the Japanese always resort to suicide when they were about to lose a battle? I liked Haley's info that she presented. I didn't know JFK was a Captain in the United States Military.

Jackie Robinson
Tanner
The best primary source from this film was Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s wife. She told us about how he acted when he was discriminated. She said that he just never said a word to the person. He just turned the other cheek.
The most interesting fact that I learned from this film was that Jackie was a football star in college instead of baseball. He went to UCLA and played running back. He was the nation’s leading rusher.
What reason made Jackie’s decided to peruse baseball instead of football after college?

Blog- Sacagawea- The Witnesses
The best primary sources for my video were the actual people who saw JFK become assassinated. They heard where the shot originated from and where it was more realistic than what got started going around. Beverly Oliver was one of the few who were standing very near to the picket fence where most of witnesses the shots were taken. She will never be convinced otherwise of where the shots were taken other than that fence. Phil Willis also believes this theory was well. He however also believes that more than 90% of the Texas’s population believes the picket fence was where the shots were taken as well. Also the police officers from Texas who took in Oswald and had to take care of the body for that given time were also great primary sources. They are because they also witnessed it and also had to help investigate it with the FBI. Those certain officers were Jesse Curry and James Hosty.
To me the most interesting part of the video was the beliefs of the Texans compared to what got around to the rest of the United States. Their thoughts should definitely go into close examination because of the fact that they were there looking at it with their own eyes. One man, Phil Willis, was very much haunted by what he witnessed that day with seeing his presidents head being blown off in the back. He saw exactly how his head reacted and to him it felt like the whole situation happened in slow motion. Hearing what they saw and hearing their much described generalized accusation, it is a very hard thing to consider them wrong.
My question is with so many of the witnesses stating if the secret service would have been going faster, than the presidents wounds could have been treatable…then why were the secret service going so with the president of the United States in a convertible?

J.F.K.: A Personal Story By Haley Zink
J.F.K.: A Personal Story
By Haley Zink
1. Throughout this video there were many different primary sources used. In my opinion the top primary source would have to the book the Jack Kennedy wrote. Profiles in Courage: President John F. Kennedy was the book he wrote. It is a source that tells what Jack Kennedy was really thinking since he wrote it himself. To really get to know him, that would be the best way to do so.
2. There were many pieces of interesting film in my video. The one that mainly caught my attention was when J.F.K. was at war. He was the captain of the PT-109. At one time they got bombed by Japan. The boat ended up sinking. 11 out of 13 men survived it though. No one knew they were still alive so the 11 were stranded on the island. Jack kept them alive, and fought to help them. The only problem was how to get in contact with the navy. Jack decided to carve a message into a unripe coconut shell. This shell was given to the natives who gave it to Australian coast watcher. They contacted the British who then contacted the navy. All were then rescued. As Jack was President, he kept the exact coconut shell on his desk in the white house that he carved the SOS message into. This was a very interesting part of my video.
3. My question is what father would be able to put his daughter into the position of having physcosurgery for an experiment for doctors? I do not understand how a father could do that to her daughter. She was permanently damaged from that and soon died after. I would have to blame the death of Rosemary Kennedy on her Father Joe Kennedy.
4. My response and last question will be under Morgan’s question.
