"John F Kennedys Debt"

 “Concerning John F Kennedy’s “debt” is one word mentioned in media before my grandfather’s death”

Now it is frequently a headline in the media after Ambassador Caroline Kennedy was appointed as US ambassador to Australia, said Kumana’s grandson Rellysdom A Malakana.


He said, In the past when visitors from the USA and other countries while seeing his grandfather Eroni (Aaron) Kumana, others mentioned the word to his grandfather, and he thought and assume that his grandfather rescue the future president of America.

“JFK Debt, I explain this to my granny”. “In response, my grandfather said that it seems to him that this was not a debt but a gift from a friend”  

Rellysdom said that during events to remember those who died during WWII here in Solomon Island, my grandfather spoke to the media that JF Kennedy and America becomes his treasure.

“I could not believe saving the future president of America,” Kumana said.

“Though my uncle wishes that if America could ever recognize the heroics of their father with something special to honor him”.

The grandson Rellysdom explained that his five recommendation was one of his request to the family of Kennedy.

He said that since the frequent visits from tourists and other special visitors from the USA his community and family members thought of him as the source of benefits from benefactors.

“Today my grandfather is not here, but concerning the “JFK Debt” to me, it sounds like, my grandfather’s idea of a gift”.

“My grandfather has received a log from a friend. Out of it a dugout canoe was made and named it Vaivana, which means a gift”.

Rellysdom said that everything he (Eron Kumana) received from others he call it a GIFT.

My grandfather said that joining scout sounds to him like playing games out there. However, during the height of booming and shelling, is really, you are on a mission to protect your country, and work for your Queen. He said that they are not paid but enjoyed meals with the platoons.

“Now they see me as one of the rescuers, I am proud to save a future president” this was Kumana’s statement, stated Kumana’s grandson.

“What is it? Might a promise… but will always be a gift” said the grandson of Eron Kumana.
