On the sixth international trip of his presidency, JFK was joined by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in Nassau, The Bahamas to discuss a collective nuclear defense system between the two nations.

These items come directly from the Hirschy family. Lieutenant Hirschy was Supply and Logistics Officer for the Military Aides to the President and Officer-in-Charge of the Navy Mess in the White House during both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. His duties also included taking care of the President’s needs on overseas trips, aboard the presidential yachts and at Camp David. Lt. Hirschy served in the White House from May 1, 1961 through May 31, 1965.

Good condition.
