# The Kennedy graves - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/the-kennedy-graves/ - Published: 2016-02-01T13:28:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout ##### I’ve heard it said that America changed forever the day that JFK died. Having not been born until 1970, I can only rely on history for validity of this statement. ##### I can tell you though that walking in Arlington cemetery and coming to the flame that burns eternally at the grave stone markers for JFK and his wife is a humbling and moving experience. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### Politics are not discussed here, only the occasional question raised by young minds as their parents softly answer them in tear choked whispers. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### I leave a penny on the grave marker of RFK, and look up to see our country’s flag gently flapping in the autumn wind. I hear a family remark that the Kennedy’s uncle has a tombstone here as well, as he lost his life in World War One. ##### So much sacrifice, for their country, for their beliefs, for each and every one of us. ##### 󠀁[󠀁[ ##### It was a moment of pride and unparalleled loss that I felt simultaneously upon the hallowed grounds of Arlington. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-kennedy-graves/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20Kennedy%20graves&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fthe-kennedy-graves%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-kennedy-graves/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-kennedy-graves/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-kennedy-graves/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-kennedy-graves/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
