Jackie, kneeling at her husband’s grave just days after Bobby Kennedy was assassinated.
On June 9, 1968. The man that took this photo said this about the event. I went to Arlington to visit the Kennedy graves. Despite the events of the previous days, the area around the graves was deserted. I climbed the hill to JFK’s grave and saw the freshly-dug grave of Robert Kennedy nearby on the left of the main plaza area. After a few moments, I turned to leave. To my surprise, there were Jacqueline Kennedy, John Jr. and Caroline. If there were ever a “Forrest Gump” moment, this was it. This was a person so famous that to be there in her presence seemed unreal. I didn’t know what to think. I just stood there watching the Kennedy family coming up the hill, followed by a large crowd. When they reached JFK’s grave, they knelt down and prayed. On Robert’s grave, Jackie placed a single white rose. She turned and passed very close to me; I stood there transfixed by something so unexpected. Then as quickly as they came, they were gone.
