Editing Kennedy family (section)

==Heraldry==
On March 17, 1961, John F. Kennedy was presented with a [[grant of arms]] for all the descendants of Patrick Kennedy (1823–1858) from the [[Chief Herald of Ireland]]. The design of the arms (three gold closed helmets on a black field) strongly alludes to symbols in the coats of arms of the [[Kennedy (Ireland)|O'Kennedys]] of Ormonde and the [[House of FitzGerald|FitzGeralds]] of [[Earl of Desmond|Desmond]], from whom the family is descended. The crest is an armored hand holding four arrows between two olive branches, elements taken from the coat of arms of the United States of America and also symbolic of Kennedy and his brothers.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.americanheraldry.org/heraldry-in-the-united-states/arms-of-famous-americans/presidents-of-the-united-states/john-fitzgerald-kennedy-35th-president-of-the-united-states/ | title = John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States | publisher = American Heraldry Society | access-date =October 27, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160803191207/http://www.americanheraldry.org/pages/index.php?n=President.Kennedy | archive-date=August 3, 2016 }}</ref>{{Infobox COA wide
