John F. Kennedy served as the 35th President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. Before entering politics, he served in the United States Navy during World War II.

John F. Kennedy’s heroics during World War II earned him a Navy and Marine Corps Medal and a Purple Heart—he is the only U.S. president to have earned either of those honors.

Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. He was the second of nine children born to Joseph P. Kennedy, a wealthy businessman and diplomat, and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, a socialite. Kennedy attended Choate Rosemary Hall, a prestigious boarding school in Connecticut, and then Harvard University, where he graduated in 1940.

After graduating from Harvard, Kennedy joined the United States Navy. He was commissioned as an ensign in September 1941 and served in the Pacific theater during World War II. In November 1943, Kennedy commanded the patrol torpedo boat PT-109, which was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer. Kennedy and his crew were rescued after eight days at sea.

After the war, Kennedy worked as a journalist before entering politics. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1946 and served three terms. In 1952, he was elected to the United States Senate.

In 1960, Kennedy was elected President of the United States, defeating Republican Richard Nixon. As President, Kennedy launched several ambitious initiatives, including the Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress, and the Apollo program. He also faced several challenges, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs invasion.

President Kennedy's 3 initiatives known as the Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress, and the Apollo program

The Peace Corps

The Peace Corps was one of the most ambitious initiatives launched by President Kennedy in 1961. The goal of the program was to send volunteers to developing countries to help with educational, healthcare, and infrastructure projects. The volunteers worked to improve living standards, spread American culture, and promote world peace. The program was a huge success and has grown to include volunteers in over 140 countries.

The Alliance for Progress

The Alliance for Progress was another ambitious project launched by Kennedy in 1961. The goal of this program was to reduce poverty and promote economic development in Latin America. It provided aid to countries in the form of loans, grants, and technical assistance. The program had a large impact on the region and helped improve living standards and reduce inequality.

The Apollo Program

The Apollo Program was the third initiative launched by President Kennedy in 1961. The goal of this program was to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. The program was a huge success and the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed the first man on the moon in 1969. The Apollo program pushed the boundaries of science and technology and showed the world that anything is possible.

On November 22, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the murder, but he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby before he could go to trial. The assassination remains one of the most controversial events in American history.

I mentor and help lead a group of Veterans who have experienced the struggles that Veterans face when going out into the work force. The lack of jobs and/or quality of jobs that were presented to us after serving our country was very eye opening and disappointing. Our company GoHireAVet.com was established to help connect employers that are specifically looking to hire military veterans with veterans who are facing the same struggles that we once faced.
