Operation Assassination: Lincolnisms vs. Kennedyms - Part V

We're celebrating Operation Assassination, a trivia-laden white paper I compiled 25 years ago that indirectly spawned this blog. In 2000, I combined my original paper with material I found online that I published on a GeoCities account. As part of this retrospect, I revisited what I found and republished the information.

1. Lincoln was shot on the Good Friday before Easter Sunday
2. Kennedy was shot on the Friday before Thanksgiving
3. These are the only Christian holidays that do not fall on the same calendar date each year
5. The location of where each president was shot

14. Both Lincoln and Kennedy were buried in mahogany caskets
