In one of the most iconic political speeches of the 20th century, at his 1961 inauguration address, President Kennedy told his fellow Americans to “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”. To mark the 100 year anniversary of his birth on Monday, we’ve taken a look at what Kennedy’s country did for him after his untimely death.
Often cited as the most popular post-war president, Kennedy is still held in high regard – not just in the U.S. but also around the world. There are 102 educational institutions, mainly public schools, bearing the late president’s name, as well as 46 roads and bridges. Moving up to the more illustrious memorials, ‘JFK’ in one form or another can be found on two airports, a space center, a coin (half dollar), and an aircraft carrier – the USS John F. Kennedy.
Today, JFK would be a Republican – and be for the people and country and be assassinated …again.
Many factions colluded to kill the president!
JFK threatened the cheese of these groups.
Then again, JFK was imperfect…this in the
age of politicians murdering their PG mistresses.
Teddy.
Suzy, here I thought he was just guilty of drunk driving.
He was the best swimmer in the family, though.
Indeed, only one coin, but millions of them were minted and carried around and used by nearly everyone in the US. Sadly, Lincoln is even more present in our lives (as is his destructive legacy).
You forgot gun control. It was in the wake of JFK & Bobby’s (& maybe MLKs) shootings that the cries for gun control started.
Shame they missed Teddy.
How many screets have been named “DR Martin Luther King Boulevard”? I don’t know the answer, but I do know that any MLK Boulevard is probably the most dangerous street in any given town/city.
