Three days after his assassination in Dallas, Texas, John F. Kennedy is laid to rest with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was shot to death while riding in an open-car motorcade with his wife and Texas Governor John Connally through the streets of downtown Dallas. Ex-Marine and communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald was the alleged assassin. Kennedy was rushed to Dallas’ Parkland Hospital, where he was pronounced dead 30 minutes later. He was 46.

That was back when we had a lot more respect for our politicians. Now people only cry when the politician they are backing (i.e., supports their world view and partisan ideology) doesn't win an election.

It was also when Democratic Politicians like JFK were men who wanted America to be the best country in the world. Then along came LBJ who started the trend the other way and Nixon who ensured the Republicans jumped on the Backsliding Buggy, IMHO its been downhill most of the time ever since.
