Days after President John F. Kennedy was killed, Dr. Ira Seiler sat at his desk and wrote a letter of concern to his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy.
“Today, on Thanksgiving, I wholeheartedly sense his death for it was just three years ago today that I forced my breath into the lungs of his newly born son,” Dr. Seiler wrote. John F. Kennedy Jr. was born premature, Dr. Seiler, a pediatric resident, said he placed a tube in the baby’s trachea and breathed air into his lungs.
“I met your husband only once after this but the part I played in saving his son’s life gave me a feeling of deep closeness to your husband,” Dr. Seiler wrote. He added “I only wish I had been able to give my life in place of that of your husband. He had so much to offer.”
