    My wife Karen and I just returned from a trip to New Ross and the Kennedy Homestead site at Dunganstown County Wexford. It was a very amazing trip and one could feel how much President Kennedy and his family means to the people of Ireland. It was very uplifting and inspiring. He gave such hope and inspiration to so many around the world and is missed today as much as in the past. God bless JFK and Ireland.
