DEUTSCHE BUNDEPOST in 1964 issued a first day cover stamp on the First Death Anniversary of former U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. This FDC is postmarked Berlin, West Germany, 21.11.1964. The cachet is also from that period. JFK was honoured in West Germany for his Cold War stance in his famous speech "Ich bin ein Berliner".
JFK is on a good many postage stamps around the world, not just the United States. And they are not always commemorative stamps from years past. Some are fairly recent. His ideals and his tragic death apparently have made him somewhat of a legend.
