JFK was like the men who served under Ike during the war. JFK survived the war to die like that, everyone's heart was broken. I still remember my parents' tears.

I was one of those parents. I voted for JFK. It was my first time voting. My husband was in the Navy. We were devastated. We sat it seems like for days in front of the b&w TV. I still remember the exact moment I heard the news. Where I was, what I was doing. What I did. Sorrow.

I was 10 1/2. Changed all of us.

Ike's face is haunting. After all he had seen during WWII this look seems to be his most compelling

Breaks your heart to see the pain in their faces. I remember this from TV. So sad.

They were burying a man young enough to be their son, a father to two small children. Regardless of anything else, that must be harrowing enough. Thank you for posting this.
