John F. Kennedy
John F. Kennedy (JFK), the 35th President of the United States, captivated the nation with his charisma and vision from January 20, 1961, until his tragic assassination on November 22, 1963. Born into political royalty on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, JFK made a splash on the world stage with his bold promises and cool-headed leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis, his establishment of the Peace Corps, and his lofty goal of landing a man on the Moon. His presidency, though tragically cut short, was marked by both ambitious domestic policies and a flair for inspirational oratory, including his iconic challenge to Americans: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." The assassination in Dallas on that fateful day remains one of the most gripping and controversial episodes in American history, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and provoke debate. Kennedy’s charm, wit, and leadership—along with his family’s enduring presence—have cemented his place as a larger-than-life figure in American culture and politics.
