Although I was only seven ( n second grade), I was overwhelmed by the tragedy of our President’s death. I grew up with a strong sense of duty to rise to challenges to help those less fortunate, to strive for advances of our people and work for global peace. I believe the fresh optimism and unsinkable vision of John F. Kennedy is a big part of my belief in what it means to be an American.

I am Irish and JFK was one of us. All of the houses in Ireland had a picture of JFK and the pope at the time. He made our nation proud and inspired generations of Irish to embrace our nationality and believe we could aspire to greatness even though we were a small and poor country. His legacy will continue for many generations and I hope to see many more with Irish American background to continue to lead for good in America and around the world.

I was in 5th grade @ Sacred Heart Military Academy in Watettown Wisconsinwhen it was announced that President Kennefy had been assassinated. The corp of cadets immediately went to our chapel to pray. 2 days later I & many others were shocked when Jack Ruby murdered Oswald. Some cheered, but years latet doubt about who really committed ‘Murder Most Foul’…I was last here in 1993 attending JFK Conspiracy conference. I returned tiday with many doubts about the official record. I was most impressed with synchronized movies about shooting being shown on 7th floor. Keep an open mind. I thought Case Closed for past 10 years again but not sure anymore. JFK was such an immense leadet & bisionary whose death unfortunately changed history for the worse.
