A Family United in Mourning
Perhaps the most striking and emotional thing about this photo is the young son of JFK saluting his father at his funeral. His wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, stands in mourning beside her young son, shrouded in black. The shock and emotions soak through the photo on the screen.

The most tear-jerking part of this photo isn’t the number of people standing to give their respects, but the young boy and his salute. He wouldn’t have been pushed to do such a thing. He simply wanted to out of respect for his father. What a moment we will never forget.
