For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globethe belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americansborn in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritageand unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

Kennedy: The 35th President of the United States By Lisa Menéndez Weidman and Ellen Shea Teacher resources: Worksheets for elementary students (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader Also available as a Microsoft Word document. Click Right Mouse Button to Download Growing up in the Kennedy Family Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was a very disciplined and organized woman, made the following entry on a notecard, when her second child was born: John Fitzgerald Kennedy Born Brookline, Mass. (83 Beals Street) May 29, 1917 Hyannis Port, MA 1928. Eight of the nine Kennedy children pose for a photo. From youngest to oldest they are: Jean, Robert, Patricia, Eunice, Kathleen, Rosemary, Jack, and Joe, Jr. In all, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy would have nine children, four boys and five girls. She kept notecards for each of them in a small wooden file box and made a point of writing down everything from a doctor’s visit to the shoe size they had at a particular age. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was named in honor of Rose’s father, John Francis Fitzgerald the popular Boston Mayor who everybody knew as Honey Fitz. Before long, family and friends called this small blue-eyed baby, Jack. Jack was not a very healthy baby and on his notecard Rose also recorded the childhood diseases he suffered from : ‘whooping cough, measles, chicken pox’. On February 20, 1920 when Jack was not yet three years old, he became sick with scarlet fever, a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease. His father

John F. Kennedy Early Life Congressman and Senator In 1946, Kennedy ran successfully for a Boston-based seat in the U.S. House of Representatives; he was reelected in 1948 and 1950. As a congressman he backed social legislation that benefited his working-class constituents. Although generally supporting President Harry S. Truman's foreign policies, he criticized what he considered the administration's weak stand against the Communist Chinese. Kennedy continued to advocate a strong, anti-Communist foreign policy throughout his career. Restless in the House, Kennedy challenged incumbent Republican senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., in 1952. Although the Republican presidential candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, won in Massachusetts as well as the country as a whole, Kennedy showed his remarkable vote-getting appeal by defeating Lodge. A year later, on Sept. 12, 1953, Kennedy married Jacqueline Bouvier. The couple had three children: Caroline Bouvier (b. Nov. 27, 1957), John Fitzgerald, Jr. (b. Nov. 25, 1960), and a second son who died in infancy in August 1963. Kennedy was a relatively ineffectual senator. During parts of 1954 and 1955 he was seriously ill with back ailments and was therefore unable to play an important role in government. Critics observed that he made no effort to oppose the anti-civil libertarian excesses of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin. His friends later argued, not entirely persuasively, that he would have voted to censure McCarthy if he had not been hospitalized at the time. During his illness Kennedy worked on a book of biographical studies of American political heroes. Published in 1956 under the title Profiles in Courage, it won a Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957. Like his earlier book on English foreign policy, it revealed his admiration for forceful political figures. This faith in activism was to become a hallmark of his presidency.

John F. Kennedy Address at Rice University in the Space Effort September 12, 1962 President Pitzer, Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb. Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen: I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief. I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion. We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far out-strip our collective comprehension. No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man's recorded history in a time span of but a half century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about to years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only 5 years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than 2 years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than 2 months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power.

Kennedy made his first formal visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1961, to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. At the conclusion of the ceremony President Kennedy spoke to more than 5,000 people gathered in the Memorial Amphitheater. President Kennedy's address began; "We meet in quiet commemoration of a historic day of peace. In an age that threatens the survival of freedom, we join together to honor those who made our freedom possible. ... It is a tragic fact, that war still more destructive and still sanguinary followed [World War II]; that man's capacity to devise new ways of killing his fellow men have far outstripped his capacity to live in peace with his fellow man." [D] Eleven days prior to Kennedy's assassination he returned to Arlington for the 1963 Armistice Day services. This time he did not address the crowd in the amphitheater.

Photo from The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library John Fitzgerald Kennedy was elected in 1960, a time of crisis in the course of the Cold War. Foreign policy was a high priority in his agenda. As he stressed in his inaugural address, the U.S. was to "pay any price" to defend the cause of freedom against global Communism. In summer of 1961, he met in Vienna with Soviet Prime Minister Khruschev, and was overpowered by the more experienced Russian. On his way back to Washington, Kennedy decided that the U.S. had to draw a line on the sand for the Communist bloc, and he confided a journalist: "Vietnam is the place." Kennedy shifted the U.S. approach to the rivalry with the USSR. According to Karnow, while the Eisenhower Administration relied mainly on the concept of "massive retaliation," basing its strategy on nuclear determent, Kennedy favored a strategy which relied heavily in counterinsurgency. This approach would be the backbone of Kennedy's policy in Vietnam. Kennedy was a firm supporter of Ngo Dinh Diem , and in May 1961 he sent Vice President Johnson to endorse the South Vietnamese president. However, as winds shifted in South Vietnam, Kennedy approved the U.S. position of "not thwarting"

JOHN F. KENNEDY Kennedy, John Fitzgerald (1917-1963) John F. Kennedy was born 29 May 1917 to a politically prominent, wealthy Boston family. As a child, Kennedy enjoyed the privileges of an elite education, eventually graduating from Harvard University in 1938. After serving in the Navy during World War II, Kennedy followed his father's entry into politics. Following three terms in the House of Representatives, Kennedy won a Senate seat in 1952. Kennedy remained in the Senate for eight years and in 1960, secured the Democratic Party's nomination for president. The 1960 presidential campaign, which pitted Kennedy against Richard Nixon, proved to be one of the closest elections in U.S. history, one in which Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement played a pivotal role. After King's 1960 arrest in Georgia, Kennedyfollowing the recommendations of campaign advisorscalled Coretta King to offer his support and used his influence to secure King's release from Reidsville Prison. As a result, Kennedy garnered a large amount of support from the black community. While King chose to remain publicly impartial, he privately voiced support for Kennedy. On election day, Kennedy defeated Nixon by less than 1% of the popular vote, a margin of victory that highlighted the importance of African-American support. Immediately after his election, Kennedy proceeded cautiously with respect to civil rights. Despite pleas from King and other civil rights leaders for federal intervention during the controversy surrounding the

Presidential Temperament Excerpted from Presidential Temperament , by David Keirsey and Ray Choiniere The year 1912 was a presidential election year, and former President Theodore Roosevelt was again campaigning for the nation's highest office. By the evening of October 14 his campaign had carried him to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was to deliver a speech in the city's public auditorium.The time was nearing for him to speak, so he strode from his hotel onto the sidewalk outside, where a car was waiting to take him to the auditorium. As Roosevelt walked toward the car a man suddenly stepped up to him and pointed a pistol at his heart. The gunman pulled the trigger and a bullet burst from the pistol and smashed its way into Roosevelt's chest. His shirt was suddenly spattered with red, and more blood immediately began seeping from the ugly hole. The bullet had come to rest against his rib cage, a mere half inch from his lungs. "He pinked me!" shouted Roosevelt, as bystanders rushed to subdue the gunman, John Shrank. They wrestled Shrank to the ground and then, seeing Roosevelt's bloody clothing, prepared to rush him to the hospital. But they found Teddy Roosevelt a more difficult man to deal with than the would-be assassin. "TR" adamantly refused to go for help. "You just stay where you are!" he thundered. "I am going to make this speech and you might as well compose yourself." Teddy Roosevelt was as good as his word that October evening. Still wearing his torn and red-stained shirt, he had himself driven to the auditorium and there, Shrank's bullet lodged in his chest, he pulled out his blood-spattered notes and gave his speech. "I have a message to deliver," he declared to the stunned audience, "and I will deliver it as long as there is life in my body."

Hi there. To better navigate JFK LINK you will need to have a Javascript enabled browser. If you don't have Javascript then please click here. to JFK LINK. As stated by Everett Dirksen and Mike Mansfield: John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our late President, was a keen scholar of American history. By his words and deeds he earned a prominent place in public affairs. He was a man of his times, a man affected by the world into which he was projected. In turn, he deeply affected that world. He sought a life of service to his country - as a naval officer, as a Member of the House of Representatives, as a Senator, and finally, as President of the United States. Throughout his fourteen years in the House and the Senate, a period of great significance, John F. Kennedy devoted himself to action. Posterity will judge that segment of his public life, as it will judge all of us, on the basis of the recorded legacy of his words and deeds. What Mr. Kennedy said and what he did in Congress tell a great deal of the man and of his service to the Nation. Those years in the Congress, from 1947 through 1960, might well be called the years of emergence for the ideals and the policies which he was later to pursue in his all too brief tenure in the Presidency. In the Foreword to the 1963 edition of The Public Papers of the Presidents: John F Kennedy , Ted Sorenson stated: Countless individuals have noted that the President's death affected them even more deeply than the death of their own parents. The reason, I believe, is that the latter situation most often represented a loss of the past - while the assassination of President Kennedy represented an incalculable loss of the future.
