who is jfk?Before his campaign for president, John F. Kennedy joined the navy after graduating from Harvard. He was the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963) and the youngest man elected to office. His campaign was focused on getting America moving again. He is well-known for his statement during his inauguration "ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country." His economic programs launched the country on its longest sustained expansion since World War II. An important event in his presidency was the Cuban missile crisis, which ultimately avoided a nuclear war with Russia during the Cold War. He was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.
