Was the "veil not required" a part of Vatican II or is it more of a "modern" thing?

I thought so, but wasn't sure as at RFK's funeral, there will still veils aplenty, but I assume that's a personal choice?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pre-Vatican II, every woman had to wear a veil in church, right?

I think it was just that they had to cover their head.

I think girls did too, something to cover their head, but I'm not sure.

Aims, yeah, personal choice, plus RFK died very early in the post Vatican II era, and there were a lot of women who just didn't feel comfortable unveiled, even though they knew it was okay -- it was still just too new. I don't think I've seen anyone with a veil in at least the last five years, maybe ten, even at churches with large nun and little old lady contingents, but it took a long time for some people to adjust.
