The translation commemorates President Kennedy as a “Freeman of Galway Borough at this place on 29th June 1963.” Unfortunately, it was in this same year of 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22 in Dallas, Texas.
One of Kennedy’s most
memorable statements, given during his 1961 inaugural address, was "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country." The legacy of JFK is archived in the:
John F. Kennedy Presidential
Library and Museum http://www.jfklibrary.org
It is noted in the Kennedy
Museum archives that the ancestral heritage of JFK traces to Ireland. In 1848,
his great grandfather Patrick who lived in Wexford County, Ireland emigrated to
Boston, Massachusetts. Today, millions of Americans can also trace some (or
maybe all) of their family ancestors to Ireland.
