On this day 55 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared November 25, 1963, a day of mourning. That day the nation mourned as one, as President Kennedy was remembered and honored from the U.S. Capitol Rotunda to Arlington National Cemetery. Members of the Old Guard were at the forefront, rendering final honors to their fallen Commander-in-Chief.
