JFK's daughter says his spirit lives on


JFK's daughter says his spirit lives on

Nov. 24, 2013 2:19 AM EST

TOKYO (AP) — The daughter of President John F. Kennedy said that his spirit lives on even though his life was cut short.

Caroline Kennedy, who is the new U.S. ambassador to Japan, said in an interview published in Japan's Yomiuri newspaper Sunday that people often tell her they were inspired by her father. That's a reminder that we all have a duty to work together for a better world, she was quoted as saying.

The remarks were her first public comments about Friday's 50th anniversary of her father's assassination. She noted his legacies include the Peace Corps and the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is providing humanitarian aid to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan.

She also said her father inspired his generation of Americans to serve their country and work for justice and peace, adding that many young people today feel politics bears no relationship to themselves.
