The Funeral of President John F. Kennedy

Yesterday was the 47th anniversary of the funeral of President Kennedy in Washington, D.C. This film footage is from the U.S. National Archives. There was no soundtrack, so I added the Navy Hymn, which was played during the funeral procession. Both the film and the music are in the public domain.

The crowds in the last 45 seconds of the film are like those that watched RFK's funeral train travel from New York to Washimgton only five years later...how sad.

You left us far too soon Mr. President. I was nine years old when you left....I felt God had died.
