JFK's Original Coffin Was Dumped At Sea In the book I am reading called "THE INHERITANCE" by Christopher Fulton it mentions that JFK's body was reburied in 1967. I also found out the ORIGINAL COFFIN was thrown into the sea. Arlington Cemetery also had the military block everything off for the reburial. Any unauthorized people would have been ARRESTED if they showed up. Also, Evelyn Lincoln spent a lot of time at the Gravesite of JFK watching it. I DID NOT KNOW ANY OF THIS. JFK's COFFIN DUMPED AT SEA. "It was two years after the assassination and the casket was being stored in a vault at the National Archives in Washington. Concerned it might fall into the hands of sensation seekers, the late president's brother, Robert, told Archives officials: "What I would like to have done is take it to sea." The actual disposal was turned over to the military and a submarine commander advised on how to make it "secure for dropping and sinking." Forty-two holes were drilled into the casket, it was weighted down with three 80-pound sandbags and fitted with two parachutes to insure it wouldn't break apart upon impact with the water." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jfks-coffin-dumped-at-sea/ 1967 JFK REINTERMENT. "On November 24, 1963, President Kennedy’s lot in the Arlington National Cemetery had been set aside “in perpetuity” – reserved forever in the honor of his memory, as Cemetery officials would tell visitors. He was buried in Lot 45, Section 30 on the afternoon of the following November 25th, when the “eternal flame” was lit. Work on a permanent site 20 feet away began soon thereafter, and would be completed four months after the re-interment – in July 1967. Now it was time to re-bury the 35th President in that new site, together with the bodies of his two infant children. But, as if the absence of mystery could not be tolerated in any aspect of the Kennedy family history, SOMETHING PUZZLING OCCURRED. Before the workman started their excavation, they were startled to witness what had all the appearances of a PARAMILITARY OPERATION.. Some 300 military personal arrived and closed Arlington National Cemetery to the public, leaving out all unauthorized persons. An Army road-block shut down Arlington Memorial Bridge. The Military District of Washington established a command post at the guard house near the grave sites. A 50-man reserve troop stood by for summoning on short notice. Meanwhile, troops ringed the area, which had been screened by canvas and open to only “key personnel” with “a specific job.” The detailed paperwork for these maneuvers was reminiscent of a military operation – which, in fact, it was. A handwritten note from the Army General Counsel to a Deputy Secretary of the General Staff noted that Secretary of Defense McNamara wanted an “hour by hour detailed schedule” of what had taken place at the Cemetery. It also included an order that the crane, trucks and other equipment of the firm responsible for the work bear no identifying tags. And memorandum after the memorandum repeated the order that “all public will be clear of the cemetery prior to re-interment.” The March afternoon had been cool. By 6 p.m., it was growing dark. Ten minutes later, the mystery deepened: cemetery workers were startled to see two members of the official party arrive. Why now? Surely these movers and shakers, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, hadn’t come merely to check on the preparations for the following day?  Minutes after the powerful Senator and Secretary reached the site, the puzzled work crew was directed to break ground. A tractor and crane moved into position inside the canvas, where the tractor drive switched to his backhoe levers. Actually, the crew consisted of only two men – the tractor driver and the skillfull crane operator. The commander of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division, who was in charge of the operation, was much impressed by the skill of the workmen, who “seemed like artists with their equipment.” With a single swoop, the backhoe operator scraped to within an inch of the vault, without touching it. Soon, the crane operator lifted it up” as if it were a precious cargo, and transferred it from the old grave site to the new.  Senator Robert and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara watched the funeral ballet in silence. At 7 p.m., Senator Edward Kennedy arrived, accompanied by Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston and a priest named McGuire – both of whom were scheduled to bless the graves of the president and his two children the following day. Considering that future researchers would note the disappearing of President Kennedy’s PRESERVED BRAIN from the National Archives, the proceedings possibly take on an added significance. Recall that virtually all of the evidence points to Bobby’s control over this material, and the brain still inventoried in 1965, the re-interment became the prime opportunity for a simultaneous re-burial of JFK’s brain. Interestingly, in several newly-surfaced photos of the late-night operation, a small box appears by the Kennedy graveside, at the feet of Cardinal Cushing (see photo spread). Just before the first shovel of earth was thrown on the vault in its new setting, Bobby Kennedy took a Kennedy half-dollar from his pocket, used it to scrape some earth from the concrete vault, and tossed the coin into the new grave. At 8:45 p.m., the mourners departed the property. But by 11 p.m., they returned – this time, RFK was accompanied by his wife, his brother Ted, Warren Billings, and Jacqueline Kennedy. They remained at the site until just before midnight. They would return in the morning for the actual re-interment proceedings".  http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/14683-1967-jfk-reinterment-photos-documents/page/2/
