Even though I wasn't around during the JFK reign it's still hard to believe it's been 50 years since his assassination. Last month I saw both where he is buried and where he was fatally killed without evening planning to. I went to DC on vacation and went to Arlington National Cemetery where I saw JFK's grave and eternal flame. It was already quite moving to be in Arlington Cemetery then to see where such an icon was buried was a lot of sadness. The following weekend I ended up in Dallas for work and visited the grassy knoll and 2 "x's" in the road marking where he was 1st shot then fatally shot. It's a surreal moment to stand in the road where the "x's" are and think that a president was killed there. Kinda crazy to me that I saw both of these places right before the 50th anniversary.
