Jack Kennedy - Age 10
More than four years ago - way back in Episode 13 - I shared the story of President John F. Kennedy's funeral as part of the series on the establishment of Arlington as a cemetery. At that time I said that I would probably share the story of how Kennedy became eligible for burial at Arlington (specifically his military service, not his election as president), and that time has finally come.

But before we get to his time in the Navy, I am going to talk a little about his childhood, which was not as idyllic as it may have seemed from the outside (just wait until you hear younger brother Bobby's recollection about what Joe, Jr. like to do to poor Jack when they were young).
