The state funeral of John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, took place in Washington, D.C., during the three days that followed his assassination on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. The body of President Kennedy was brought back to Washington soon after his death and placed in the East Room of the White House for 24 hours.
Almost every American of a certain age remembers where he was when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963. The nation stopped and mourned. In their grief, few Americans wondered how the tragedy would affect domestic politics, and in the short run relatively little changed. âLet us continue,â President Lyndon Johnson said when he addressed Congress after the funeral.
