Dear Mr Kennedy:

You have inspired me re: politics. I am only 42. A a college student I was never active in politics. Last night I watched you on TV. It changed my view, completely. I wish you well and I respect what you are facing, Though I do not fully understand it..God Bless.

Best wishes,

Alexandra Tyler, Ph.D.

Mr. Kennedy is sending a strong message to Americans, 'get on the program' and start giving back to your communities, this emobdies the Spirit of American that I think many generations have lost sight of. Viewing this tribute it rekindles how passion can change our world, our daily life, or someone else's life.

His family has a strong background in sailing, water, athletics, politics and is known as our first family....he is leaving a legacy of hope and challenge to this generation. We can all volunteer time back to our communities, to the children, to the future of our nation, regardless of party politics. We celebrate an American Life.
Bravo Mr. Kennedy.
