President Kennedy lays a wreath at Arbour Hill in Dublin.
President Kennedy lays a wreath on the grave of the leaders of the 1916 Rising in Arbour Hill and Dublin cadets from the Irish army perform a military drill.
The young soldiers were from the cadet school at the Curragh. President Kennedy was so impressed by them that his wife Jacqueline Kennedy requested they participate in his funeral 5 months later.
