Famous Graves - JFK and Jackie Kennedy Graves Arlington National Cemetery and Eternal Flame (4K). Today were outside of Washington, DC in VA at Arlington Cemetery visiting the JFK Gravesite along with Jackie Kennedys Grave.

😢😢😢😢
As a 9 year old I watched the funeral for the 4 days it ran live on all channels to lay this great man to rest..I didn't expect the tears right now though but I really should have because this is John Fitzgerald Kennedy we're talking about here ..
thank you so much Nick for filming this very beautiful tribute to our fallen president and may God bless you
Thank you for such a great comment. Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoyed ✌️❤️
Such a great honour to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Thanks for watching ✌️❤️
I called the superintendent of Arlington Cemetery. And he and I walked over those grounds. They're hauntingly beautiful grounds, white crosses all in a row. And finally I thought I'd found the exact spot, the most beautiful spot in the cemetery. I called Jackie at the White House and asked her to come out there, and she immediately accepted. And that's where the President is buried today. A park service ranger came up to me and said that he had escorted President Kennedy on a tour of those grounds a few weeks before. And Kennedy said, "That was the most beautiful spot in Washington." That's where he's buried. - Robert S McNamara
Beautiful quote. Thanks for sharing!!
You personally called and arranged the location?
@@julietteyork6293 It's a quote by Robert S McNamara
@@movienerd202
Put quotation marks around the entire quote so it’s clear the whole paragraph is attributed to someone else.
@@julietteyork6293I’m all for good grammar but you seriously didn’t understand that was a quote by Bob McNamara?
My family was living in London and we were among the nearly million people who turned out to see President and Mrs Kennedy as their motorcade drove through central London in June 1961. I vividly remember the excitement and joy of the crowds as they passed by. I remember my parents saying they were never prouder than on that day to be American. Two years later, we were back living in the US in Arlington, VA and were on the Arlington Bridge on the day of the President's funeral. This time there were no excited waving crowds but silence and quiet sobbing as the caisson passed by. Forever burned in my mind is the sound of drums and the clopping of the horses hooves on the bridge. A terrible loss for the nation and the world.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. That was such a great comment. No words can describe what that must’ve been like to be there in DC during the funeral. Thanks again for sharing that!
I REMEMBER so well! Still cry whenever I am reminded of those horrendous times.
I was only 8 yrs old when this happened & still remember..it was very moving funeral😢 I will never forget🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your story and for watching!
I was only 9 years old and in the 4th Grade when President Kennedy was assassinated. I watched it all on TV and will have it burned into my memory for the rest of my life. So very sad.
Wow thanks for sharing your story and thanks for watching!
I've been to the gravesite many times...but I still am overwhelmed each time
Thank You for this Post 🇺🇸☮️
Nice to hear that you get the chance to visit it so often! That’s cool. Glad you enjoyed it thanks 😎👍👍
I remember going there on my senior class trip in 1975 and visiting JFK grave. I will never forget it.
Thanks for sharing your story and for watching!
@TravelswithNick your welcome Nick
This Was So Well Done. You Made A 65 Year Old Man Cry. I have been there,but will not Be able to return again. Thank You So Much!!🌈
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😎🤘
Nick, this was a stunningly beautiful tribute to President Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy. I've never seen a better video. I was only 5 years old when President Kennedy was killed but I remember it all so well. It affected me so much when I was watching the President's funeral on TV with my mom and little John John saluted his father's casket as it passed by. To this day I can't get that image out of my head. I felt like I was so much older than him when I really wasn't, and I felt so sad for him when my mom explained to me that our President was assassinated. My parents took us on vacation to Florida during that time, when President Kennedy's motorcade passed by our hotel just days before he got to Dallas where he was killed. My dad told me that story so many times over the years before he died himself. Thank you for doing this and sharing this with us. I hope one day I can get there in person. I know it's on my bucket list.
Thanks so much! I hope you can make it there soon. It’s such a beautiful place. I need to make it back someday to tour the Arlington house directly behind JFK and also see the other Kennedy graves. Thanks again 😎✌️
The salute that John Jr gave to his father eas on his 3rd birthday. November 25, 1963.
A very nice tribute ty Nick
We must be close in age. I was a month away from turning 6 when President Kennedy was assassinated. Caroline Kennedy is one month older than I am. She was born on
November 27th, 1957 & I was born on December 24th, 1957. It seems like we're in the same age range.
Thank you for going there and showing President Kennedy s graveside. I was alive and remember the whole matter vividly!!!
How sad thst 60 years have gone by anybody hardly I
Acknowledges the 35th President and the Anniversay of his death November 22.1963.
Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon John and Jacqueline Kennedy and may they souls rest in Peace✝️🙏
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
I still shed a 😢 when I see this video
A really beautiful tribute to our President and First Lady.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Very nicely done . Terrible time in our history . I wish this day never happened 😢
Thanks so much and thanks for watching! This was such a peaceful place ❤️
We all do.
The Kennedy family seemed cursed with his brother getting shot later on, and his son dying in a plane crash. Haven't seen a lot of the fortage before so thanks for that. It was a Sad but great Video
Thank you! It was sad but really cool to see in person. Glad you enjoyed 😎👍
… and a older brother dying.
Goosebumps. Wow. Omg 😮❤😮❤
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video, beautiful background music, lovely tribute to one of history's greatest leader,s ,some day I'd like to travel from ireland to pay my respects to president Kennedy,s grave, I've enormous respect and admiration for the man RIP
Thanks so much for the kind words and watching! You’re from Ireland that’s awesome 👏. We visited Ireland for 5 days on our honeymoon back in 2019. Would love to go back. Thanks again 😎🤘
I believe the ETERNAL FLAME was Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy's idea. She was such an intelligent woman. I was honoured to visit Arlingfton cemetary and it was quite sad.
Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching!!
You are absolutely correct! It was her idea! She wanted to plan his funeral despite being in shock & grieving.
John F. Kennedy is my favorite of the presidents. Thank you, Nick, for a great presentation of his grave and of Arlington. Another bucket list stop for me one day soon.
Same! And so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for checking out my channel 😎
So sad, the first family. Jack, Jackie and their two small children who perished as children 😢
Very respectful and touching! Canadians remember 11/22/1963 as well. Thank you Nick 😉
Thanks Joe!! Glad you enjoyed 😎👍👍
That was a beautiful but sad video RIP
Thank you very much for watching and checking out my channel!
Thank you for for this video. I lived in D.C and passed by this place but sadly never had a chance to visit it
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 😎✌️
42 years ago I had one day in Washington, on our way back to our campsite we stopped to pay our respects to the President and Bobby. Someday I will return to complete the pilgrimage! RIP all.
Thanks for watching!
i've been there many times--I really miss them more each day!
Such a peaceful place. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks for watching!
I spent morning till night and didn’t get to see it all. American History in one place. A must tour.
Yes there’s SO MUCH to see! Thanks for watching 😎✌️
thanks a lot for this video. We all loved them and still it feels horrible watching the events back in the days. Remebering little John boy standing at his fathers grave saluting. Painful memories. Always in our hearts.
Thanks for watching! Glad
You enjoyed it!
I'm Italian , when i go to Washington one day i will visit and pay my tribute to President Kennedy, a great historical figure, he put hope in our hearts all over the world ❤
I hope you can make it there someday! Thanks for watching 😎✌️
Interesting vlog. Going there is a mixed feeling of sadness, gratitude and celebrations of those who have gone before us, some sacrifices while other left us without saying a word.
Very well said! Lots of emotions indeed. Glad yu enjoyed it though thanks for always commenting and the support :)!
Was only there once as a teenager but it has always stuck with me, Jackie and Teddy were still alive then, so were not there yet. Would like to go back again before I am too old to pay tribute to all those who have been added to Arlington since the mid-70's.
I hope you can make it back there someday! Thanks for watching 😊
Really interesting video , so much history , great share 👍
Thank you!!
Appreciate the background info. It has been years since we have been there!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍👍
Those of us who were alive at that time will never forget it. I've been to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, and hope to make it to Arlington someday.
Thanks for watching!!
This was so sad but beautifully made. Thank you..
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Wonderful video! Done with class! great info, I like the way you faded back with video from 63, I remember I was 7 yrs. old.
Thank you! Very much appreciate your comment and glad you enjoyed the e video. It was a surreal place to see for sure but I’m so glad I was able to visit there. Take care! 😌
Nick, thank you so much for the background info, the historic tapes of the memorial' events, and the *burial footage. You are so correct about the mixed emotions one feels at Arlington Cemetery. You presented this with dignity and respect. 🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
Aw thanks Rhonda! Thanks so much for the nice comment and on how I made the video! So glad you enjoyed thanks again 😄👍

May they R.N.P. AMEN❤
Such a loss. I still remember the funeral. Nicely done sir 👍
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it ✌️
I visited the site as a 10 year old in April 1976 my father was a South African diplomat have read books about the Kennedys they still fascinate me today have alot of respect for Robert Kennedy Jnr 😇🙏
Thanks for sharing your story! Glad you enjoyed 😎✌️
Rest in eternal peace President John Fitzgerald Kennedy you will never be forgotten 😢❤😢
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video of the gravesite mixed with archival footage. Also, I appreciate that you photographed the gravesites of those who served with honor in the armed forces as you passed by on the walkway. All those buried at Arlington and other military cemeteries deserve respect for their service.
Thank you very much for the nice comment! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I salute President Kennedy And. remembering how his wife behaved during those four days shows her great courage What a lovely couple ! 😊
The coffin was moved 30 feet up the hill I’m March of 1967.
Thanks for the info and watching!
We did not have time to visit the Kennedy area. Nice mixing in the old footage
Thank you! 😎👍👍
I can’t believe it will be 60 years ago this November. I was a 5th grader in Catholic school,when our principal came in crying and told us what happened. We sang at a funeral Mass in our church for him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching! 🇺🇸
I was 3yrs old when he was shot 2. Times in the back of his head and neck and my parents where upset about it. Because he was a young man who left his wife and children very young children. His son would've been 64 years old had he lived.
Hello Nick. My compliments to you on presenting such a respectful and dignified video. The blending of historical footage along with footage of your visit to the gravesite was definitely well done. I was 11 when JFK was assassinated, and I remember it as if it were yesterday. I remember my mother crying as she was trying to make dinner. My dad, a WWII veteran, was extremely angry. I have visited JFK's gravesite only once, back in 2002 (last time I was in DC). Again, my compliments sir.
Thank you so much Paul for the nice compliment! I’m very glad you enjoyed my video. Good to hear that you made it there as well. Thanks again!!
Thank you for this beautiful video! What is the name of the song playing? Shazam said Inner Peace Affirmations but that version has a person speaking over this music... How do you get the original with just the instrumental?
I can vaguely remember Robert Kennedy getting shot on live TV. I remember watching it and crying. I realized what was going on even though i was a young child. ❤️
Thanks for all the great comments and sharing your memories 👏
I was in my high school years and heard about JFK assasination that was a sad day for us in my country Philippines we admire him so much and I sent a condolence card in the US Embassy in Manila and so glad I recieved a thank you card in behalf of America and the people.. I love Pres.Kennedy and his Family RIP forever❤❤❤😢
Thanks for watching!
I live in scotland. I wasn't years old when my brother came out of our house and told us. I didn't believe him ,so I went into the house to find my mother and her sister crying and knew then the awful truth. I remember as if yesterday.
Thanks for sharing your story and for watching 😎✌️
The graves of Robert Kennedy and Ted Kennedy were very close to this location and the two are buried within feet of each other.
😔🙏🏽🇺🇸
Beautifully done, thank you
Thanks so much 😎✌️
I remember visiting when I was 11 years old but I wasn't able to understand the story behind it fully. I would love to go back again to get a better look and understanding.
I hope you can make it back someday!
Thanks. As Marulyn& Robert's child, hidden in europe, Nl, you bring my roots to me. 💝🙏🕯
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed!
Great job, Nick, for showing one of the saddest times in our nation's history.. As we who are getting older who were here at that time, we must let the younger generations who weren't here then know just what a very sad time that was.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed 😎✌️
Going to Arlington is a high priority for me. Watching this video was almost as good..@@TravelswithNick
Saw that in 2015. Extremely moving for me as i studied JFK in GCSE history and yes the planes were extremely noisy from Reagan International Airport
Thanks for sharing that and for watching!
Great job. Very dignified and respectful post. I was 9 the day after the assassination. I'll never forget that day😢
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
My mom always wanted to visit President Kenndy grave so when my husband went to DC to visit the Holocaust museum and than we went to see Kenndy grave 😢🇺🇸
My family and I lived outside of Washington DC during The Kennedy Years (1961 to 1963) when my father was stationed at the Pentagon.
We visited President Kennedy's grave shortly after his burial. It was a very sad time in our country's history. The shock and grief of his senseless
assassination left a unbearable sadness. Those were fours days in November I will never forget.
His grave in November 1963-1964 was a very simple grave. Nothing like it is today. A small mound of turf, dotted with military hats from the various branches around it plus the flickering Eternal Flame that Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy with Robert and Edward Kennedy beside helped her lit.
Shortly thereafter a small white picket fence surrounded the gravesite and the two babies (Arabella - stillborn 1956. Patrick - died 2 days later after being born in early August 1963) that President and Mrs. Kennedy lost were buried inside the enclosure with their parents.
Don't let it be forgot.
That once there was a spot.
For one brief shining moment.
That was known as Camelot.
There will never be another Camelot.
Thanks for the great comment and for watching!
R.I.P. Mr. President 🥀 and Bobby 🥀 Much ♥️ from 🇩🇪
Thanks for watching 😎✌️
Arlington National Cemetery is beautiful and awesome.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching ✌️
A very moving video
Thank you very much! Thanks for checking out my channel 😎✌️
An excellent video, tying in the actual event with the President’s grave & the eternal flame. Very well done with the videographer’s own thoughts. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking out my video! Much appreciated I’m glad you enjoyed 😄

Les videos nous rappellent le destin tragique de cette famille
Je n'oublie pas l'endroit où reposes ces absents est yres tres serein et beau pour ce dernier voyage merci😢
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!!
I was there in 1963 with my elementary school trip to Washington DC. At that time the grave site of course was just Kennedy surrounded by a small white picket fence with the flame very simple because this was shortly after the assassination. We also saw Lindon Johnson he was coming out of some building and came over to your class that was waiting across the street.
That’s an awesome story thanks for sharing that!
I have to make a correction I believe my school was there in the spring before the end the school year in 64 because the assassination was a week before Thanksgiving of 63.
The Kennedys were great men.
Agreed. Thanks for watching 😎✌️
Good going Nick. God bless.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!!
No school and this was the only thing on television, seemed like weeks. The caisson, the riderless horse, I believe the most somber things I’ve seen in my 72 years.
Wow. Thanks for sharing and commenting 👏✌️
Thank you❤🙏😭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
A Beautiful Video. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!!
😀👍👍 great video thanks 🤝

Thanks for sharing that and for watching 😎✌️
Thank you very much from Spain ❤
Thanks for watching!!
Love this video
Thanks so much for watching!
JFK was originally buried in a different gravesite while current gravesite was being constructed and was moved to current site in a believe 1966-67
Thanks for adding that info and for watching!
Makes sense.
4 years a go a group of my friends
Went to Arlington and the trip made me stop and a preate what I have
Arlington is huge we hight the high lights
As people we take things for granted
That's why I try to make the world a little less
Crazy
Great video I have family in MD and we plan to visit the Arlington National Cemetery soon
Thank you!! I hope you enjoy as much as we did 😎✌️
The first time I was to Arlington, Jackie had just recently passed and there was just a small temporary marker for her. The "Eternal Flame" is visible from the National Mall.
Thanks for sharing your story and for watching!
Nice.thank you.
Glad you enjoyed thanks!!
JFK's middle name is his mother's maiden name. She was Rose Fitzgerald before she married Joseph Kennedy.
Thanks for the interesting info!! Thanks for watching as well 😎🤘
I’m from the UK and I’d love to visit.
My wife and I can’t wait to go back to the UK haha. Spent our honeymoon there. Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching 😎✌️
Had the privilege of walking those grounds; have to comment that its hard for me to be there without being emotional....All the History! The JFK memorial is a place all of its own! For 60 years, the assassination is still unsolved....😢
Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for watching !! RIP JFK
Why did you not mention the two children also lost that are interred with Jackie & John?
Miss him every day
Same. Thanks for watching!
I was in 7th std at that time our schoolwas closed i felt very much for this young president
Thanks for sharing your story!
😮😮😮😮thanku
Glad you enjoyed thank you!
My late husband who is buried at the Arlington national cemetery 🪦⚰️ in areas of other army 🪖 military 🎖️🪖 plots in the beautiful cemetery 🪦 and it's hard to come here. But I tried to stop by if I'm in Washington DC areas. Been her 4 times.
I appreciate his service and I thank you for watching 👏 🇺🇸
Went here in 74. I was 14
Thanks for sharing
Someday, I Will Visit The Gravesites Of The President, & First Lady.
I hope you can soon! Thanks for watching!
Sad. Sad day in our history😢❤. Only Caroline is left
I know it’s so sad. Kennedy family has some really horrible tragedies
You missed the TWO CHILDREN. The first is Patrick Kennedy, who died in infancy a few months prior to the assassination. The second child is Arabella Kennedy, whose grave marker simply reads "Daughter" as she was stillborn and did not receive a birth certificate or an official name.
Yes I did. I plan on going back this year and will make sure to get all the Kennedy’s. Thanks for watching!

Hi, I work for South Korean broadcast company tvN, we would like to use your video on our history show. Could you please let me know if we could use an excerpt from it giving the credit to your channel? Thanks :)
Hey thanks for checking out my video. You’re welcome to use any of my own footage and please credit me. Any of the actual funeral coverage doesn’t belong to me though and is not mine to say one way or the other. You can tell what’s my own footage and what’s not. Once the video goes up if you can send me the link that would be great. Thanks 😎✌️
I was there several times in the past and most recently two weeks ago. It is always moving to be at the spot where President Kennedy and the First Lady are laid to rest among the hundreds of thousands of other heroes who gave all for their country.
Thanks for your comment and for watching. It’s such a powerful place to visit ✌️
At the General Robert E. Lee home ARLINGTON, with its grounds that Became were taken to become Arlington National Cemetery, wanna tear it down and up too?
Thanks for watching!
They're son Patrick who died shortly after birth is buried there also.
