From the very beginning, John Kennedy, or Jack as the family called him, suffered frequent illness. At two, he nearly died from scarlet fever. Like his siblings, Jack enjoyed sports, but he seemed to prefer reading. He possessed a keen intelligence and a special charm.

Jack joined the Navy in the fall of 1941. Two years later, he became a certified American hero. As commander of torpedo boat, he had kept his men safe behind enemy lines. Kennedy was  serving in the office of the Secretary of the Navy when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. 

John F. Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th president at noon on January 20, 1961.

President Kennedy's foreign policy was dominated by American confrontations with the Soviet Union, manifested by proxy contests in the early stage of the Cold War.

President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 pm on Friday November 22, 1963. He was shot once in the throat, and once in the head
