JFK Cemetery Grave

Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. On November 22, 1963, while on a campaign trip to Dallas, President Kennedy was shot and killed. Many felt he should be interned on federal property so that he could be accessible to the public.

Mrs. Kennedy choose to mark the grave with an eternal flame. There are only two U.S. presidents buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The other is William Howard Taft, who died in 1930.
