The Son JFK LOST Just MONTHS Before Dallas

In August 1963, just months before Dallas, President John F. Kennedy lost his newborn son. Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born more than five weeks early and lived for only thirty nine hours. His father sat beside him through his final night in a Boston hospital. This is the true story most Americans have never heard: the emergency birth at Otis Air Force Base, the fight to save Patrick’s lungs, the gold St. Christopher medal JFK placed in his son’s tiny coffin, and how that loss brought Jack and Jackie closer than ever. It’s also the chain of events that put Jackie beside him in Dallas. Today, father and son lie side by side at Arlington National Cemetery. Had you ever heard Patrick’s story?
