Foreign military units at the state funeral of John Kennedy[edit]
- ... that Irish rugby union player Jamie Heaslip's father, Richard Heaslip, was part of the military escort at the state funeral of John Kennedy?
- ALT1:... that the state funeral of John Kennedy was the only state funeral of a United States president in which foreign military forces participated?

New enough (though written on 10 February, it seems, and not 9 February, but it doesn't matter), long enough, well written and within policy. Hooks are both good but I would go for ALT 1. I've no idea who Jamie Heaslip and much less who his father was and would go for a broader approach with the ALT hook - but it's a pure matter of taste. Interesting article, great job!
