At the funeral mass for Edward Kennedy, Ted Kennedy Jr. speaks about the effect his father had on him. Kennedy Jr. also mentions how proud he is to share the same name as his late father.
I am sorry for people like you who can't appreciate a son eulogising his father in such a brilliant and poinient manner. Watch this video again and tell me you aren't moved. If you didn't watch this video, you are missing one of the best speeches/eulogies ever!!!!
Watch George W Bush eulogizing GHW Bush. It was really touching. Fathers and sons. Teddy was left so many children and responsibilities that many can’t fathom. He never expected 3 older brothers to die and his father stroked out. He was in his 30s when this happened. I have no doubt he carried Mary Jo around the rest of his life. And he likely tortured himself over it. I’m a conservative and I admire how he hung in there and kept helping people. Time tells the truth of people. Ted wasn’t a showboat. He made a difference to no benefit to him.
04:31 "I know you can do it. There's nothing that you can't do. We're gonna climb that hill together. Even if it takes us all day..." Such a wonderful words. I almost cried :'(
I can relate to Teddy JR story…I am dyslexic and I was told by a teacher when I told my classmates I wanted to be a nurse…the teach told me that I was not intelligent to go to college! It devastated me! After not sleeping because I knew it was my parents dream that my sister and I would go to college, I confessed to my mother what my teacher said. My mother without hesitation said to me Heidi, I know you will do it, you have the gift of determination, without that gift even the smartest person will not be successful. It was hard work by I have been 36 years registered nurse with my bachelor degree. My parents were fantastic with advice and encouragement and have encouraged my children, co-worker, and nursing student thru the years.
Ted Kennedy Sr. gave one of the most famous eulogies ever heard when he spoke at his brother Bobby's service in 1968. I believe that, today, his son has done every bit as well, because he eulogised his father by recalling a rare, and moving moment that affected his life on such a personal level. Ted Sr. must be so proud. RIP
Beautiful & moving eulogy for a truly great man, who so thoroughly redeemed himself & atoned for his early-life blunders that he deserves the respect & gratitude with which he will be remembered. My favorite part was the priceless lesson of how he built up Ted Jr's confidence & resilience after losing his leg at age 12 & taught him how to survive it & live his life. Very inspiring!
Ted, your Dad is so proud of you! Met Teddy Sr and Jr. during '80 campaign and met my future wife there as well. Two years later we were married. Two days before our wedding we received a telegram of congratulations from Senator Kennedy. My heart breaks at the loss, both personally and for America. God Bless You TED.
I loved your father. Everything he went through continued to hold my fascination over the years. You are so lucky to have had him in your life.. you just made him proud with outstanding words. So down to earth...good stock. I am grateful to have listened to you. You have turned into the kind of person he would be so happy that you are carrying the torch for him, for you and for us all. Wonderful speech. Heartfelt and courageous, buoyant and emotional yet it maintains that Kennedy trait of service to others. You nailed it. God bless you and your family....
An amazing speech. I would expect no less from a family of such class ,dignity, humor, and compassion. The comments here are just sad. You people make me sick.
Why is it that every time I hear one of the Kennedys speak, no matter which one of them, they leave such an indelible impression, no matter what the subject? One can't help but almost hang on every word they say. Don't get me wrong, I am aware of this family's flaws but God they are all so eloquent, confident, oozing greatness but grounded. An amazing family, a cut above the rest although they never come across as feeling that way. I have no words to describe it exactly. "Full of class" is an understatement.
i've always felt that ted kennedy spent the last 40 years of his life trying to live down the first 40. he worked his ass off trying to atone for things he did, and he loved his country. rip teddy.
What a beautiful eulogy. It's so clear that God uses even our mistakes and setbacks to benefit us. Thank you, Teddy Jr., for the inspiring tribute to your wonderful father.
How monumental was/is this singular family? How many things they have changed throughout the course of history...I stand in awe of their sacrifice and compassion 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you for your services to this country
I am from Malaysia nt a Catholic. Listening to Ted jr inspirational eulogy abt his beloved dad ted sr. His speech sbt moral obligation, honour and dignity. To treat WTH respect equally to the ppl of any background . To.learn to love, like , respect our rival and opponent to believe in what we do. Have faith nvr give up.

WTH all my heart I want to thank ted kennedy jr for making me believe that I will achieve my target to upgrade myself and believe I can still hang on.my dream WTH the believe I will.lead a much better life and be successful one day. Yr family Mr Kennedy embraced strongly in the upbringing of being devout Catholic. Teach good deeds. And as a Muslim I really respect all of the Kennedy. May Lord bless u and the member of yr family. Million of thank. Zita carolina
I always admired Ted Kennedy. I watched this very moving eulogy with my father and then I had to eulogize my own father ten years later in the summer of 2019. I told jokes, I told stories about my dad, and I broke down, too. Looking back, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
@04:25 - as a son who had a loving father as I was growing up, and now as the father of my own nearly adult son, this story is beautiful, and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Though, at my present age of 53, I’m not sure I completely understand my tears and my related sense of sadness. Maybe it’s just a parent thing.
He had a moral obligation to help others, reminds me of Sen. John McCain too. I understand they were friends. They spent their lives serving the American people.
All controversy aside Edward Kennedy despite being from a privilleged and affluent backround. He did dedicate his entire political career to aiding the poor and depraved. RIP Ted
@ConservativeInk had a drink in front of him at public events & he supported Bush initially over kicking a drinking habit) and he'd fixed his life. His legislative record has had many times the impact of most presidents. By the time I was born sir the whole Chappaquiddick mess was 20 years in the past and privately I think the guy atoned for his mistake from that day forward. He got his comeuppance and came out the other side. He was a great man.

Aug 26th 1:49 PM: "Commonwealth vs. Edward M. Kennedy. This complaint charges that Edward M. Kennedy of Boston, Mass., on the 19th day of July, 1969, at Edgartown, did operate a certain motor vehicle upon a public way in said Edgartown and did go away after knowingly causing injury to Mary Jo Kopechne without stopping and making known his name, residence and the number of his motor vehicle. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?" "Guilty. Guilty."
This should not have to be explained nor be important. However, the late Senator, his son, and his grandson are all Edward Moore Kennedy, and all three of them are called Ted or Teddy. From that it is easy to do the math. Why does it matter?!
@ConservativeInk Oh, and BTW-towing the party line is not always the wise thing to do, as a legislator owes the public not only his service, but his good judgment. The current Congress is so divided that it reminds me of Lincoln's House divided speech. The deadlock is killing this nation far more than any one itinerant politician could. Ted was always very good at wheeling and dealing behind the scenes-how do you think he got his name on all those bills??
God bless the Kennedys. Upon Ted Kennedy's death lets make a resolution when we have the time to carry on his passions - to fight against the "R's," enemies of the working middle class. WE HATE YOU. That you Father for my deep union roots.
Still busting up at 123philhenderson's attempt to communicate! You see, Phil was educated in Canadian schools. This is a fine example of the genius that is being created in Canada! Just read his post below mine! With an educational system like Canada's.... Can you imagine what their health care system is like! Just reading his post is disturbing to me....
He thought it should be legal to suspend the rights of whites in employment and education law, just a long as it didn't affect him or his family. He made a career out of opposing constitutional rights for his own race, just to shore up a base of African-American, Hispanic and Asian voters.
Keep dreaming badtown. Hell is real. Teddy is experiencing it right now... You can't buy your way into heaven. You'll find out the truth some day badtown.
the first generation makes the money. the second keeps it going/with the exception of the youngest son who killed a woman. The third generation turns it into shit. and the fourth will lose it all.
It was a tragic accident. Both parties had been drinking. Ted Kennedy spent his life trying to atone for the accident, which never would have been blown to such colossal proportions were it not for the "air pocket" theory. Bottom Line: Senator Kennedy was tried and given a sentence for failing to report the accident immediately. If you don't like the sentence, your resentment belongs with the court.

Amazing how such a small speech can be so profound and touching that makes feel like it took an eternity, and in a good way...
That was an extremely powerful eulogy. Well done, your father was so proud looking down on delivering that amazing speech.
Ted, your Dad is so proud of you!

dunskie dignity is not a work I would associate with Kennedy family.

A great family very united emmense love for the unites stats of America ther is none like them. Good bless them all 😇😇😇
@@yvonnemenk5717 Wrong a terrible family
Lmao thru are not eloquent and they have no class
Such of a beautiful, moving speech. God bless him.
i've always felt that ted kennedy spent the last 40 years of his life trying to live down the first 40. he worked his ass off trying to atone for things he did, and he loved his country. rip teddy.
Also it was literally just one event, and I'm pretty sure he was panicking
@@AC-mp7cx what for he's panicking? Illogical.
Nope teddy was evil and immoral
What a beautiful eulogy. It's so clear that God uses even our mistakes and setbacks to benefit us.
Thank you, Teddy Jr., for the inspiring tribute to your wonderful father.
I'm so glad I was born in the '60s! To see them walk, to see their path as they walked, to understand their thoughts it delights me!
How monumental was/is this singular family? How many things they have changed throughout the course of history...I stand in awe of their sacrifice and compassion 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you for your services to this country
This was an outstanding homegoing for the late Senator! RIP Senator Teddy!
The most moving eulogy I've ever heard. God bless you.
What a moving tribute. It's alright now Teddy.
What a beautiful speech ❤️
He's a credit to his father
Inspiration from the heart, I will never forget Ted Kennedy Jr,'s words.
What an amazing speech!
What class, what courage, what love, what grace!
One of the greatest speeches I have ever heard.
Awesome speech, brought tears to my eyes.
Ted Jr is impressive. That was very powerful and moving.

A perfect tribute and excellent speech. Bravo Teddy Jr.
He said it all so beautifully!
From one Irish family to another, thank you & love you!
Here's big, strong, Kennedy right when we're missing a Kennedy.
Very sweet and very moving. God bless.
I would hope that all fathers can be as appreciated by their sons. I will watch this again and again to remind me of the man I can be.
great speech!!!

Four years later , that is still of Lou Gehrig Farewell Speech quality !!!! Well done !!!
Very beautiful eulogy by a son.

This was excellent.
Jr. should run for office.
Simply inspiring. As a man, as a father, as a politician. May the Italian politicians take inspiration from Ted Kennedy’s idea of politics!
He had a moral obligation to help others, reminds me of Sen. John McCain too. I understand they were friends. They spent their lives serving the American people.
He was a great man.
I love this guy! Let's hear more from him!
RIP Ted Kennedy. We were lucky to have you fighting for people like us
Ted Jr is quite impressive.
I loved Ted Kennedy and the younger generations the neices and nephews and his children.he was a classy man very intelligent man.
YOU Can't help but to LOVE The Kennedy's..
still brings tears to my eyes
This is still a great Country!
God Bless!
We love the Kennedys✝️😇🙏
All controversy aside
Edward Kennedy despite being from a privilleged and affluent backround.
He did dedicate his entire political career to aiding the poor and depraved.
RIP
Ted
This was a very nice tribute.
1969...Mary Jo Kopecnie..R.I.P. ❤
Wow !!! Rest In Peace Ted and Thank you.👍👍👍
*cries*
Love Democrats love Kenndys love all Democrats President..RIP to Kennedy brothers😇🙏🌹
Ted Kennedy: The Early Years is a great bio coming to amazon!

@transitory9 Mary Jo Kopechne was in need, but Ted never helped her. So much for being compassionate.
so moving speech..RIP
We all love the Kennedys
For all their faults, they were still America's royal family
No we all don’t
OMG! He sounds just like his father 😲
Thanks for your AM Radio facts there. The Kennedy's will never be killed by your bullets of lies or lead...
He was a great politician got a lot of Bill's passed during his tenure as senator . Worked well with the Republicans getting things accomplished
right on my brother...in arms.
10 years in; 10 years out; 10 years lost...
SO TRUE!
Ted Junior sound so much like his father
Rest in peace Teddy. You fought the good fight. Crusader against soical injustice.
Sometimes I wonder, "Why do people need a speech when they speak from there heart?" Or are they really speaking from the heart??

Aww So sad But a beautiful speech
Was the person he hugged in the end his brother?
Yes, former U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy
ted was a wonderful human being
Let us not forget Fred Kennedy, whose name sounds like Ted Kennedy.
Well I was told to bring kleenex. I didn't. I should did.
Why doesn't Junior recall how his dad cheated on his mother for the whole time she was married to him?

My understanding is that Ted Jr doesn't live in Mass, but in New York state so he couldn't run.

Is he saying that there are 3 Ted Kennedy, Juniors? This guy sounds like Al Franken.
He thought it should be legal to suspend the rights of whites in employment and education law, just a long as it didn't affect him or his family. He made a career out of opposing constitutional rights for his own race, just to shore up a base of African-American, Hispanic and Asian voters.
Keep dreaming badtown. Hell is real. Teddy is experiencing it right now... You can't buy your way into heaven.
You'll find out the truth some day badtown.
LOL... The guy that is speaking in this video doesn't have a leg to stand on!!
That's right. Not to mention the even bigger sentence he got- never becoming president.
why hasnt this son of the SR kenndy run for congress?? it seems like no one is following in Sr kenndys political footsteps
Haha! Those secret service men behind Biden & Bush look like they never sleep! Reminds me of "Jason Bourne". Anyways, great eulogy.
the first generation makes the money. the second keeps it going/with the exception of the youngest son who killed a woman. The third generation turns it into shit. and the fourth will lose it all.
@BobbyEnergy True, although sometimes i still wonder "Is it a trick?" Not for this but like for any speech really. Like do they really mean it?
Alyssa Chaparro its a case by case issue. This one definitely true.
It was a tragic accident. Both parties had been drinking. Ted Kennedy spent his life trying to atone for the accident, which never would have been blown to such colossal proportions were it not for the "air pocket" theory.
Bottom Line: Senator Kennedy was tried and given a sentence for failing to report the accident immediately. If you don't like the sentence, your resentment belongs with the court.
You have little knowledge of the investigation.
This short video speaks volumes on Ted Kennedy. Be sure to watch the body language.
