A Tribute to President John F. Kennedy - (29 May 1917 - 22 Nov 1963)

John F Kennedy’s assassination on 22 November, 1963, was a defining moment in both the history of the United States and the lives of millions of people around the world.
He was the figurehead for a sea change of attitudes at the beginning of the vibrant 1960s in a country fast becoming disillusioned with its foreign policy and desperate for civil rights reform.
President Kennedy was the youngest man elected to the White House and, at 46, he was the youngest president to die.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, the second son of Joseph P Kennedy Sr and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. The Kennedys were already a well-off and politically-influential family. He was brought up a Catholic.
When he was 10 the family moved to a rented mansion in New York City. He suffered poor health sporadically during his education, including bouts of appendicitis, colitis and jaundice.
