   Helo, Alan. Thanks for your questions:

   1. President John Kennedy was shot to death on Nov. 22, 1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas.

   2. It gained its Independence on July 4th, 1776. George Washington was soon to be our first President.

   3. This is a timeline of United States military operations. From 1776 to 2008, there have been hundreds of instances of the deployment of United States military forces abroad and domestically. The list through 1975 is based on Committee on International Relations (now known as the Committee on Foreign Affairs). Dates show the years in which U.S. military units participated:

1775-1800
