I have to say to the perosn who put this video up as a person who has heard my parents talk about JFK dying but also learns it as "history" it is all I can do to think this makes it more real. watching them do the flag over his coffin. With all do respect, I have never really thought of his grave as his grave and now that JKO is gone it is like a "grave" all over again (not like a grave it IS a grave) and I think about how wierd it is that JFK era people will say it as that grave and my era
Indeed it's a sad spectacle, but essentially JFK died due to his administration's policies which incensed his enemies beyond consolation. He and the Kennedy family would had been best off had he never been elected President in the first place, an election victory which to this day was questionable in its final outcome. Perhaps should we get to heaven we'll learn the truth about this and many other mysteries. May JFK, RFK, JKO, and JFK Jr rest in peace.
@lttljimi so true. I just wish the American people read the real history of their own country and understand the impact of the proposed policies that these two brothers wanted for America and the world. We non-Americans also mourn the loss of both a great president and a great attorney general and peace activist.
Please try to do something about your country's electoral system. its faulty for sure as it gets votes for the puppets you have been having.
Didn't someone give a speech at JFK's funeral that went along the lines of "We loved him as a brother and as a father and as a son. From his perants and from his older brothers and sisters he reserved inspiration which he passesd onto all of us. Gave us strength in time of trouble, wisdom in time of uncertainty and sharing in time of happieness. He will always be by our side" ?
@ichernichenko are you on drugs? He was a drug abusing, lying, fornicating (which I'm cool with), completely phony image that had been foisted upon a naive public. He started the whole morass of excess government and debt which is now fucking up the whole world.
@andrelebaron ..dude one of the bills he was trying to run was to limit the government ..he was a very respected president that at least made an effort to make it seem that he cares about the people unlike the rest of the idiots who could only talk..besides I be you do the very same things that you just named about him, and how exacly did he get us into dept a little bit more facts please?
I would have took the guns out the cermony...come on...they know what they were doing fuck tradtion....this man was murdered by a gun right by his wife....
If this doesn't fill you with sadness and anger you just don't get it. And retrospect is one of the worst things as Bobby joined him almost 10 years later and here he mourns for Jack.
@BrendanIsCool Yes, the soldiers at the graveside are from the military academy of the Irish Army. All verbal commands in the Irish Army are given "As Geailge."
ALL those "killers" behind JFK's assasination will stand trial on the judgement day.. i'm speaking here of the White Throne Judgement. & how terrible & frightful it will be for them on that day...The Almighty has SAVED this trail for Himself ..Abraham Zapruder's film as well as all other footages will no longer be needed. ALL those will stand in plain view... and what transpired in the shadows (before as well as in the coverup)..and will finally laid to rest
Thousands of young men soon followed him into Arlington, who might not have had he lived. The cowards who murdered him killed a dream and a nation also.
@capetown99 Amen Capetown - how sadly right you are. My father was stationed at Camp Lejuene, NC during the Cuban Missle Crisis - he was litterally standing on the beaches to get on the ship to go to Cuba - when Kennedy had the troops to stand down. It was only just a few weeks ago that Dad commented that Kennedy's finesse/abilities are what spared his and who knows how many other lives in that particular situation. I wish the same could be said for the Viet Nam situation.
I don't know if that's true. Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all had something to do with the Vietnam War. Kennedy sent so called "military advisers" (same name for military troops) to Vietnam. Even if they were not there for military purposes, Kennedy escalated the conflict either way you look at.
Your right, but his refusal to send US troops to the Bay Of Pigs and his refusal to start firing off nukes at the Russians in Oct 62. suggest he may have tried to wind the Vietnam conflict down. Maybe not right of way but certainly before 1969. Like the missile crisis I think he was up against powerful groups not to withdraw. It was a game of chess, especially with an election in 64. He did send the "advisers" but he was totally anti communist and thats what he believed.
@BusterBunker Vietnam is considered to have begun in '54 under Eisenhower. By Oct. '63 President Kennedy had made the decision to get out, signing National Security Action Memorandum 263 which called for the first advisors to be home by Dec. '63 and for all advisors and military to be out of Nam by the spring of '65. Those plans died with him. The same day he was buried, Lying Lyndon signed NSAM 273, which completely reversed JFK's orders, giving the military / the CIA the war they wanted.
@BusterBunker - and just a note of interest - Inside the beltway, it was common knowledge that things were getting really nasty - as far as how the CIA felt about President Kennedy. The Oct. 3, 1963 edition of the New York Times carried an article entitled "The Intra-Administration War in Vietnam" by Arthur Krock. In the article a source informed him, “If the United States ever experiences (an attempt at a coup to overthrow the government) it will come from the CIA and not the Pentagon”.
That man was a great hero for freedom and liberty the world would have been so different if he had lived the cold war may have ended in the 1960s and no vietnam war on the scale that happened its so tragic and makes me cry even so many years later.
At least he died painlessly. I highly doubt he knew anything about it. Of course, it's incredibly sad, especially watching his two young children march through the funeral.
@HomeTownPublishing He didn't have half of his head missing, right? I'm asking, I have looked it up, but maybe I am missing something. Did you mean it like a joke... like since Alzheimer patients don't have their "whole head." Like sarcastically?
If you look up JFK's Irish Honour guard, you will find a documentary that was made on Irish tv, about the 37th cadet class, who were asked by mr's Kennedy to do the honour guard at the funeral. Never before in American history has a foreign Army been asked to do this honour.
I still remember those four days in November, 1963 very well. I was seven years old and in the second grade. I remember that for that entire weekend there were no normal TV programs; everything on TV was about the ceremonies of JFK lying in state in the Capitol, and the funeral Mass, and the interment at Arlington. My most striking memory of these was the drums. I can't help but think how the history of the last 45 years might have played out had JFK not been killed. May he rest in peace.
I wonder what kind of ex-president he would have been had he lived. I'm sure wherever he is now, he will be very proud of the things he achieved in life
He was the most amazing president that we have had. Barack Obama has some huge shoes to fill. And the way Mrs. Kennedy carried herself at the funeral was just perfect.
@BRad031793 That is what I always think about when I think about his age since I am in my 30's and born post his life span. On a silly note, I laugh and how young Jackie seemed in her 70's (early) because JFK seems really old at 92 to be a father to a 50 year old. :) lol
Absolutely. He stature has only grown through the years in my eyes. How things might have been different today if he hadn't been murdered by that "lone assassin". It was a coup, plain and simple with foreign influences.
