Grave Of JFK A Busy Arlington Shrine Six Months On
Arlington National Cemetery sees heavy foot traffic at John F. Kennedy's grave with about 2.7 million visitors in six months. Sen Edward M Kennedy visited this week as the family awaits a final memorial design. The eternal flame sits on a temporary base as mementos accumulate and are sent to the White House until the Kennedy Memorial Library is completed. Foreign dignitaries and Betancourt engaged in wreath ceremonies marking the enduring tribute to the assassinated president. The piece also notes epiphytic Spanish moss growth overhead.
