On this day in history, Nov. 25, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, after a somber and nationally televised funeral process.
"The permanent graves are located about 20 feet east of the site where the president was temporarily interred on 25 November 1963," the library's website also says. JFK "qualified for a plot at Arlington National Cemetery, but he also deserved a special site befitting his presidential status." Jackie Kennedy "lit the first eternal flame and, a few days later, the grave site was enclosed with a white picket fence." The eternal flame now "burns from the center of a 5-foot circular flat granite stone located at the head of the president's grave."
