John F. Kennedy was born to Joseph Patrick Kennedy and Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald Kennedy on May 29, 1917. His paternal grandfather P. J. Kennedy was a member of the Massachusetts state legislature. His maternal grandfather served as a U.S. Congressman and mayor of Boston. All of his grandparents were children of Irish immigrants.
A bronze bust of John Fitzgerald Kennedy rests on top of a 7' high by 2.5' square granite base. The bust was created by Paul Lancz and originally erected in 1986. It was relocated to it's present site in 2012.
The base is inscribed:
JOHN F. KENNEDY
1917 - 1963
A plaque on the wall next to the monument is inscribed:
