God bless him for coming to Ireland. We never seen his smiling eyes again !

He tried to do good, he was courageous but they took him out and his brother too.

Thank good ol LBJ for that one.

JFK and his brother are my biggest hero outside of my own family :) From a fellow American with Italian descent God bless the Kennedy's and the Irish

[@joemacinnis1972]

To see a leader who is so proud of his country, and gives us so much hope is such a rarity today

It's hard to watch this and not shed a tear, when you know he was later shot in Dallas.

I’m from Dallas and when we travel to the city we end it by driving by the place where he was shot and there’s an x in the middle

[@paulitaalmazan6742]

Pres.Kennedy knew how to make those who welcomed him feel warmly accepted and take pride in their kinship with him.He was a full-blooded Irish and we understand why the welcome he received was fit for more than a head of state but a returning triumphant son in whom the welcomers were very proud of.

I've never seen this before. I knew JFK visited Galway/Eyre Square but have never seen any footage. Thank you

[@SpeedyWings2323]

There’s an entire documentary he even visited family and his grandmother or aunt and when he said he was leaving she said she wasn’t and he had to stay 😂 it is said that every Irish home has a picture of JFK which is really interesting

[@lynngregory393]

I am watching this now 60 years later. I loved him as President. Always will.

[@levieenrose7646]

Kennedy was so well loved in Ireland. It wasn't uncommon to find a photograph of the Pope and a photograph of Kennedy proudly hung in the home of an Irish Catholic family. It is so sad to think that kennedy would be assassinated months later in Dallas.

Most famous and respected of all times.

[@RichardRodrigues-k6z]

Yes he did.Even as he drove through Dallas.Before he was killed.He appeared to be quite happy.To be among the American people.With the tumultuous welcome.He and his wife received. Perhaps his memory and others.Who gave their lives for America. Will inspire Americans to seek a new path of greatness. Not in hatred, humiliation, denigration and disrespect for fellow Americans. Who are different in skin colour, political and religious beliefs and gender. May America continue to fulfill the destiny.That God has called her to.Through the dreams, aspirations and work.Of all who call America home.
