Although John F. Kennedy only served 3 years as president, he still left historical marks in American history. He was the youngest person to hold office, and the first Roman Catholic. People still remember this popular president as one of the most charming, charismatic, and energetic American Presidents of all time.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, sometimes known as JFK or Jack, was born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was the second of nine children. Growing up, John's family was wealthy, and Joseph Kennedy, John's father, had high political expectations from his children. John F. Kennedy graduated from Harvard University in 1940. When World War II broke out, John enlisted in 1941 for the U.S. Navy. In August 1943, Kennedy's crew was traveling the area around the Solomon Islands. After midnight, A Japanese shipped rammed the boat Kennedy's crew was in, and it broke in half. Kennedy rescued the remaining survivors by leading them to a nearby island. For his bravery and heroism, he was awarded with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
The Kennedy family was proud to be part of the Democratic Party. After World War II, John ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and won it against his other Republican opponent at age 29. He was reelected in 1948 and 1950. Later, in 1952, JFK ran for senator from Massachusetts. He won against Henry Lodge, Jr. by about 70,000 votes. In 1960, John F. Kennedy ran for president with Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate against Richard Milhous Nixon, and Nixon's running mate was Henry Lodge, the senator JFK defeated in 1952. John won by a narrow victory, scoring 114,663 more votes than Nixon. As President, JFK began the Peace Corps. He also proposed a civil rights bill to give black Americans basic rights. John also faced the challenges of Communist Cuba, and the Cold War.
In April 1961, Kennedy approved the plan to invade Cuba, later known as The Bay of Pigs Invasion. The plan failed, and it embarrassed America. Sadly, on November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy's life and term as president ended when he was shot in Dallas, Texas by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald. Many conspiracy theories surround Kennedy's assassination, such as the reason of Oswald killing Kennedy, or whether Oswald killed him at all. Overall, John F. Kennedy may have made some mistakes in his term, such as the Bay of Pigs Invasion. He made some good choices too. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest American presidents of all time.
