1. From Wiki

On March 14, 1967 Kennedy's body was moved to a permanent burial place and memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. Kennedy is buried with his wife and their deceased children, and his brother Robert is also buried nearby. His grave is marked with an "Eternal Flame." Kennedy and William Howard Taft are the only two US Presidents buried at Arlington.

7. That is the simplicity that he wanted. When you go there you
are first drawn to John's grave site but for me the love I feel for RFK was so strong standing at that simple stone I felt it for days after. I found myself hardly able to keep from screaming my rage that we had lost him. He as you can see is still my inspiration.
