John F. Kennedy
Posted on 29 May, 2009President from 20 January, 1961 till his tragic assassination on 22 November, 1963, Kennedy defused the Cuban Missile Crisis, created the Peace Corps, created the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, was a legend in Ireland, brought back the economy, saw to that the first black student enroll at Ole’ Miss, he laid down the ground work for what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, started the Apollo project, and signed Executive Order No. 11110 (if the US Gov. were inclined to do so, they could eliminate the demand for Federal Reserve Notes by replacing it with silver certificates – a good thing). He did great things – he promised a lot and delivered on much of it. He did have his downfalls, his critics, and his failures, but he also had these great wins.
Happy Birthday Kennedy. May your memory continue to live on.
