The Eternal Flame at JFK Grave in Arlington

The solemn Eternal Flame burning on President John Fitzgerald Kennedy grave at Arlington National Cemetery. Cape Cod granite slabs mark the resting place of the 35th American president, assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. In the background, Arlington House dominates the hill as silent guardian of this sacred place. The flame, lit by Jacqueline Kennedy during the funeral, has never gone out since 1963 and symbolizes the immortal spirit of a president who inspired a generation with the words: Ask not what your country can do for you.
