On November 11, 1963 President John F. Kennedy visited Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate the occasion. He brought along his son John-John, who was soon to turn three years old.
The President has seemed gloomy in recent days probably due to the death two months ago of his 2-day old son Patrick and the unraveling situation in South Vietnam.
A strange mood on contentment seems to always com...e over the President when he visits Arlington. A veteran himself, the President has told others that he would like to be buried at Arlington.
John-John is playful and delights everyone with his antics, running around all over the place.
As he leaves the cemetery, JFK tells Congressman Hale Boggs, “This is one of the really beautiful places on earth. I could stay here forever.”
The President’s car drives away as John, Jr. waves to the crowd.
