JFK's History

JFK was the thirty-fifth president of the United States of America. I chose this topic because he was my favorite president. His real name was John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr. John F. Kennedy was the youngest man to be elected president.  JFK was born in 1917 on  May 29. Kennedy was born in Brookline,Massachusetts. JFK's mom's name was Rose and his dad's name was Joseph. JFK went to Harvard. JFK graduated from Harvard in 1940. After Kennedy graduated Harvard he entered the navy. When the Japanese destroyer sank Kennedy's PT boat a person that was part of its crew was drowning, but Kennedy saved him. When Kennedy was swimming he swallowed so much salt water that when he finally got to land he got sick.  

JFK had six dogs named Charlie, Pushinka, Strelka, Clipper, Shannon, and Wolf. JFK had one cat named Tom. JFK had one canary named Robin. He had two parakeets named Bluebell and Maybelle. JFK also had two hamsters named Debbie and Billie. JFK also had a rabbit named Zsazsa. Pushinka and Charlie had puppies named Butterfly, White Tips, Blackie, and Streaker, but they were given away to friends of the family. John had a wife named Jackie and a kid named Caroline. Caroline had two horses named Tex and Macaroni. Tex was a gift from LBJ (Lyndon Baines Johnson). Macaroni was part Shetland. Mrs. Kennedy had four horses named Rufus, Palamino, Sardar, and Arabian. Arabian was a gift from the president of  Pakistan. 

John was assassinated in  Dallas, Texas, in 1963, on November 22. John Kennedy was also the youngest president to be assassinated. He was an important president and he was loved by a lot of people.
