John F. Kennedy Memorial

There is a memorial to President John F. Kennedy in New Ross, Ireland.  It is at a place where President Kennedy gave a speech in Ireland in 1963. He was assassinated in Texas a little bit later.  His grandfather was from Ireland and he was the first Irish-Catholic president of the United States.   He also has the same birthday as me!

The statue is of President Kennedy ready to shake hands.
