  • President John F. Kennedy made an emotional visit to his ancestral home in Ireland in 1963. CBS News's Charlie D'Agata looks back on the first Irish Catholic president's trip to that country.

    I'm from Tipperary and our son had his confirmation a few years ago. We went to Wexford for the weekend. We visited the Kennedy homestead. The house has changed much and they have a little museum there with some of JFKs personal items there that Jackie Kennedy sent to the family like his dog tags and a rosary beads he was carrying the day he was assassinated. What a great man he was and very well respected in Ireland and a friend to this country.

      Thank you for loving him as much as we did. My parents were actually about 10 years younger than JFK during his Presidency, but when I see him, I see them, and long for those days when they were all still alive and smiling and living life to the fullest. I get very emotional when I watch these films, knowing what was to come. But I try to be grateful to God for blessing us with this President and for my parents.

      Trump is now the Greatest. JFK was the last great democrat before the party took a hard left turn. He was a moderate , life member of the NRA and stood for many issues todays democrats shy away from. Reason they lost so badly in many past elections for various offices. Moderate democrats now vote Republican as the DNC is taken over by Hollywood and radical alt-left loons.

      You're right, she seemed completely oblivious to the fact her 2nd cousin was the President. To her, he was her 2nd cousin, period. I'm sure that unpretentious realism was what he appreciated most though.

      Mary Ryan was devastated. There was a day of mourning in Ireland on Monday, November 25, 1963. Mary was invited to the funeral in Washington but she did not feel that she was in good enough health to attend so she asked her daughter Mary Ann to go instead. www.independent.ie/life/jfk/tea-and-sympathy-from-mary-ann-the-cousin-with-the-ready-smile-29346233.html

    This would be JFKs happiest moment abroad before the US security state ended his life in Dallas a short time later in order to pursue a more reckless, violent and anti-democratic course of empire building across the globe that has led to the loss of countless civilian lives and the economic stagnation of dozens of nations.

      Incidentally Henry Ford who founded the Motor Car company had a Irish Father - odd you didn't hear him or anybody else banging on about it don't you think?
      Not to mention that prior to this twat with his great Granddad from New Ross there were six US Presidents with Irish origins
