As if the President is gone to glory!

The horse, "Black Jack" passed away in the 1970's and was buried with full military honors.

The drums...It is the drums that are so hauntingly beautiful and so sad.

@140778981 There did seem to be more coverage in years past. When the networks disappoint me, I come to YouTube. There is plenty here to watch.

@norr4636 he certainly didn't deserve it. rather, he should have been unceremoniously dumped in the potomac. he is the reason for this funeral................

how long was this funeral in it's entirety? i was 3 years old when this took place. Iremember my mother crying. I never really understood until when I became a teen in the 70's. A great loss, but one of the grandest, and truly best military funerals ever. Period the end.....

Black Jack, the perfect symbol of the vigor and dynamism of the late President. This is the first time I've watched the NBC coverage in quite a long time. Although his handler (Arthur Carlson) must have suffered from residual pains long after the day was over, this beautiful Morgan-Quarterhorse mix is one of the enduring memories of that tragic weekend
For years if you heard that drum roll you were instantly reminded of the Kennedy funeral, the films for many years just played that drum roll and nothing else during film clips

I think the military then up to 1980 was the best as far as the honor guard. I served and was honored to see the honor guard perform. Some of those in JFK's honor guard were killed in Vietnam, what an omen. I hope the next president will have the full bands and pomp as they had with JFK's State Funeral.
