Original U.S. Flag That Hung Over JFK’s Casket Up For Auction

February 7, 2014

John F. Kennedy

With the entire nation and world in mourning after John F. Kennedy’s horrific assassination that 22 November 1963 day, plans of course were set in motion for his burial.

The State funeral of JFK took place over three days in D.C. following his assassination and on the Sunday after the assassination, his flag-draped coffin was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state. Hundreds of thousands of people — from dignitaries to common man lined up to view the guarded casket throughout the day and night.

On top of his casket, an American flag was draped.

The flag is probably one of the most symbolic and emotionally charged relics of American history — commemorating not valor or victory, but rather, tragedy.
