John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby

Few families in American history have been in the position to grieve publicly like the Kennedys. Additionally, few American families have been so grieved over the Kennedys. From President Kennedy to his brother Bobby to his son John Jr., members of this iconic family have lost their lives in shocking ways that sent ripples through our country that are still present today.

Here’s a great story about the Kennedy family and its grief following President Kennedy’s assassination on Nov. 22, 1963: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1919303,00.html.
