John F. Kenndy, Jr. Salutes
Photograph by Stan Stearns
The boy in the picture above is John F. Kennedy, Jr.
His father was assassinated on November 22, 1963, three days before Kennedy Jr.'s third birthday, and the son's poignant salute of his father's casket, and the Marines during the funeral procession on his third birthday became a heartbreaking and iconic image of the 1960s.
