Jacqueline Kennedy was the one who left the White House alone, her children left fatherless. She had one final motivation that kept her standing in those final days. Ragged as her heart was, she relied on her ironclad will, to shape her husband's legacy in a way, that it could never come undone. She modelled his processional funeral after Abraham Lincoln's, and insisted he be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, and ensured the gravesite would have an eternal flame, modelled after the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris, France. These decisions became not only part of John's legacy, but also Jackie's lasting legacy, establishing her as the quintessential symbol of dignity and resolve, in the face of the most extreme circumstances.
