Robert Kennedy Funeral at Arlington








Robert Kennedy was assassinated on June 5, 1968 and passed away on June 6th. This newspaper only says June on it, no date. The first photo says, "President Johnson condolences, with all signs of compassion, pressed President Johnson Edward Kennedy's hand. The man in the middle is one of Johnson's security guards."

The second photo says, "Kennedy's stretcher carried to the grave at Arlington National Cemetery. In front is Robert Kennedy's son, little Robert, on the right side is McNamara, and back to left is Martin Luther King's successor, the Reverend Ralph Abernathy."

The young Edward Kennedy looks very much like President John F. Kennedy from this angle. Same head shape and hair, that whole family looked very similar. John, Robert, Edward and even John F. Kennedy Jr. as I recall. Tragic. Not the hair. Well, a little the hair too.
