52. I went in 1993 but was there for RFK anniversary

We were stationed in Newport News VA, the hubby had duty that day. So I loaded my two kids (3 1/2 year old and 9 month) hooked up with my dad, who at the time worked in the DC area. And we attended the 25 Anniversary for RFK, which was in Arlington, we sat on the grass on a hill near both graves.

I found this article .....

RFK lauded, quoted 25 years later Mass at Arlington marks his death

ARLINGTON, Va. -- As about 18,000 people watched from the hillsides of Arlington National Cemetery, President Clinton late yesterday joined the family and close friends of Robert F. Kennedy in a graveside Mass on the 25th anniversary of the New York senator's death by assassination.

The president -- who for most of the tribute sat next to Robert Kennedy's widow, Ethel, while first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton sat beside Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. -- lauded the slain leader as "a relentless searcher for change, for growth, for the potential of heart and mind that he sought for himself and that he demanded of others."
