John F. Kennedy became the 35th President

of the United States. Without question

his most famous speech, inspiring a

nation, was his inaugural address.

“My fellow Americans, ask not what your

country can do for you, ask what you can

do for your country!”

He was assassinated on November 22,

1963—after only

1,037 days as President.

And in closing his speech—a call to endurance

endurance for the American people from Romans 12:12.

“. . .year in and year out, ‘rejoicing in

hope, patient in tribulation’—a struggle

struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny,

poverty, disease and war itself!”
