JFK gravesite eternal flame restored

(UPI) -- The eternal flame burning at President John F. Kennedy's gravesite has been restored to its proper place, following months at a temporary slot while crews made repairs.

Less than a month before the 50th anniversary of the president's assassination, workers on Tuesday moved the flame back to its permanent burner, using a torch to carry it from the temporary burner where it has been visible to tourists since April.

The permanent burner, which protrudes from a stone in the ground next to Kennedy's tomb at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, received new gas lines and a more efficient burners.
