I also was 12 years old. I attended a small public grade school (1-8) and we held a school assembly in the gym to watch the inauguration. Even at that moment, I knew I was hearing great oratory. JFK's inaugural address truly is one for the ages.
I love how one of the first to shake his hand was Nixon, his political candidate, and looked genuine in his reaction. I can't imagine the same in these modern US politics anymore.
really me too found president Nixion very cordialy and cute with John F. Kennedy at the occasion of inaugural address of John. F. Kennedy.💚🍍🍒💦Kulsoom Sroya.
I was in Cairo Egypt, when the President was sworn in. He made a huge difference in my life. Wished we can return to the same quality being to occupy the office of the Presidency...I listened to it often that I memorised it. I still know it word for word. Thank you Mr President.🙏🏽✨
My name is Leoni Golding. I live in South Africa. My birthday is on the 20th of January 1946. On the day of President Kennedys Inauguration we had no TV. We had the radio. With the blocade around Cuba I was living with friends since my family had been transferred to Pretoria. With the blocade of Cuba, I was wondering if there would be no tomorrow. I was 16 years at the time. When he dot killed on the 22nd of November 1963, my heart stopped. It is my honest belief that had President Kennedy lived ,he would have become the best American President of all time. The mystery of his assisination on Noverber 22, 1963 will live in infamy and those who did this, may they rot in he'll. I have visited his graveside and, like others the tears were streaming from my eyes. This leader of the free world was killed that day, but his legacy lives on.
I am a decorated Marine combat veteran who spent all of his 20's in various combat theatres. I have never in my life felt more closely aligned with any human beings on this planet than Jack and Bobby. Every word they have ever spoken publicly feels as if it could have come from my own mouth. The division in our country, world challenges, my concerns as a father, our current veteran suicide rate (my brothers), and the inspiration given to me by these two men who were not allowed to carry out their vision, has driven me to make the recent decision to pull away from a very successful business career (currently serving as an executive) and run in the 2030 senatorial race for my home state of Texas. I will not take a dollar from a lobbyist and in the words of Bobby "I cannot stand aside". It's amazing people like all of you that connected a combat vet with his true mentors by posting this content, and therefore I thank you with my entire soul. God willing I will pick up their standard and move it forward once again for all of us. My name is Josh Beaver and I ask for you to say a prayer for me in 2030 to revive the reconciliation strategy and to bring accountability & transparency to a political system which so badly needs it. Thanks!
You must firstly understand and know what the Jesuits’ oath is about. Before you can protect the constitution of America and its citizens even Saint John asked Jesus who could wage war against that beast power that is everywhere in the world and why it wants union of church and state worldwide
God wants the people to worship him out of love not out of fear from God or the government or the churches like in the Dark Ages 100,000,000.00 Christians were killed.
As a 12 year old kid growing up in war ravaged rural Liberia in 1997, I memorized this speech the first time in read it in elementary school. You see, the speech lasted for less than 14 minutes but it reverberated throughout history and will continue to have lasting impact on generations to come.
It is unfair to compare any modern politicians to this great president. Doing so would be an insult to such highly intelligent and honorable leader of our nation.
Do not forget your King. He did so much for his country and his people . Let there be justice for his legacy and for all the people who cared about him.
Rfk Jr is resurrecting that lost timeline. In his most recent speech which was his first policy speech he quotes his uncle Jfk quite a few times. The speech was given a few days ago at st anselm university in new hampshire
To hear rfk speak like he did before the laryngeal dystonia you can find a speech from 2002 here on youtube. That one hasn't been scrubbed from youtube yet He talks about his work as an environmental lawyer activist cleaning up rivers by sueing polluters and the corrupted bureaucrackies which are captured by them. At that point he had been doing that work of fighting crony capitalism for 20 years already
As a Canadian I loved President Kennedy. I was in grade 11 at school when we were notified of his assassination. I remember going home and crying for several hours after. It was a sad time for both countries.
You are still young forever President Kennedy, let your torch spread out to my younger generation. May God bless America🇺🇸 and Rest in peace Mr.President Kennedy.
In my 70 years, John F Kennedy was the most prominent President ever to hold the high office of President of the United States. If he could have only finished 8 years we would still say "he was the most respected and loved."
If president John F. Kennedy was not assasinated America was entirely different even this world was different today.America needs to work on the ideology and vision of president J F. Kennedy "the every support is available in his liberary". Kulsoom Sroya.💥💚💦
Don’t you find people were so respectful of one another , regardless of party these men were true Hereros maybe I’m from old school manners do go along ways it’s to bad today many missed have for some reason good manners respect of one another matters !
The last president this nation had that was presidential in every conceivable aspect. We have never as a nation healed from the wound dealt us in his loss. We need a modern him. Not a Trump, nor Biden. Not a Hilary or Sanders or even another Kennedy in name. We need another person with vision, class, and compassion for all; with the courage to walk the path boldly instead of just serving as another party mouthpiece.
Bravo JFK .......your words of strength and wisdom resonate with All decent folk of this World.We shall All gain courage to instill these Values to All Mankind and Seek a Better World for All.God Bless You,I know your spirit lives within me.Happy 100th birthday tomorrow Uncle Jack!!!!
I was a high school boy in New Zealand. This man was a man for the troubled times. He came through with his promises. He was one of your best Presidents. But was snubbed out by criminals
I remember him as the President of the United States. The Kennedy Brothers served also as Senators Robert and Teddy. When he was assassinated I was only in 4th grade. Very sad time for us and the United States and all around the world.
'One form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny!' Sheer genius. They don't make them like him anymore. Continue to rest in power, JFK.
WHEN I LISTEN TO PRESIDENT KENNEDY SPEECHES IT MAKES ME SAD REMEMBERING AS A BOY LEAVING MY CATHOLIC SCHOOL HEARING OF HIS DEATH AND THE TOTAL SHOCK OF ALL MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS WATCH IT REPEATEDLY ON MY OLD RCA TV.
JFK was a great speaker and very witty. If not for his handling the Cuban Missile cris in a very cool and collected and diplomatic manner,,, nuclear annihilation could have occurred.
I loved this guy! He was a straight shooter. Since he was disgustingly removed from this Planet, people have tried to do nothing but to show some of the off- colored wrongs he did a Human Man! I’ve to hear anyone aggressively approach to point out and teach what a strong thinker and Leader he was. There’s no telling how much good he could have accomplished had he had the chance to see through to an entire term of Presidency!! He was the most Confident, Mature and Competent 35 year old that I can remember!! As Always RIP JFK!! Taken not just from us but the World as a Whole!!

No matter what anyone thinks of his politics, then or now. one thing is clear: That man knew how to give a speech. In that regard, he has no equal in my lifetime, and I believe few in history.
The text ,of his Inaugural speech and the spirit ,which moved the hands that drafted it- have yet to be eclipsed , much less matched ,by any US President since
It's really a time to get up and carry on from where he left. J F. Kennedy speaks his passionate ideology, vision, logic, reasoning and rationals straight from his heart and his consciousness to change America into a proud some nation to lead the country in magnificant manners. As, America is a country of an utmost impirtance to change the destiny of this ailing/dying world struggl ing to survive in dignified manners.the Hon.available world leadership is ready to do utmost to save the ship (needs) eminent role of all the stake holders while America is hope and strength for the needful job*.I love every great country of this beautiful planet*.I love America*. Kulsoom Sroya.💚💥💦
It would be excellent if we workat the John F. Kennedy ideology and vision with rich addition of the mixup of existing situation the demands of new era. As its changed world need the changed attitude with brilliant approach of flexibility.its amazing to see that with the change of time existing world leadership is in wonderful mood to do really wonders to change the destiny of the whole world with the peace loving strategy for prosperous world.

The thought that an insignificant shred of lint like trump also held this office is nauseating.
