Born in 1917, John F. Kennedy was only 43 years old when he was elected President. America fell in love with his youthful charm, good looks, and quick wit. But it was his strong will and political savvy that led an entire nation through trying times, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, and onto its greatest achievement of landing a man on the moon. His brilliant political career was cut shortby an assassin's bullet on November 22, 1963, in Texas.

Today, JFK remains one of the most beloved and revered men ever to hold the Office of President of the United States.
