Kennedy History: John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. He enrolled at Harvard in 1940 and, during his senior year, wrote his thesis on Great Britain’s lack of readiness for war with Germany, which was later published as Why England Slept. Despite numerous health problems, Kennedy joined the U.S. Navy after graduation and went to the South Pacific, where he was injured when the patrol torpedo boat he commanded was rammed by an enemy warship. Despite his injuries, Kennedy guided the surviving crew members to safety and was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal and a Purple Heart for his heroism. Following his military service, Kennedy worked as a reporter for a brief period before successfully running for the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served from 1947 to 1953, and then the U.S. Senate, serving there from 1953 to 1960. During his tenure in the Senate, while recuperating from back surgery, Kennedy wrote his Pulitzer Prize–winning book, Profiles in Courage. The Democratic Party nominated Kennedy as its candidate for president in 1960. He won the election by a small margin, becoming the youngest man elected president and the first Roman Catholic to hold the office. Kennedy was in office less than three years when he was struck down by an assassin’s bullet on November 22, 1963. Highlights of President Kennedy’s administration include the: Launch of the first American manned spaceflight, Freedom 7 Bay of Pigs invasion, an attempt to overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro Cuban Missile Crisis, the confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union over nuclear missiles in Cuba Signing of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, an agreement between the U.S., Great Britain and Soviet Union to ban nuclear weapons testing in the atmosphere, space and underwater Establishment of the Peace Corps   SPECIFICATIONS Denomination:$1 Composition:6% Zinc, 3.5% Manganese  2% Nickel, Balance Copper Weight:8.100 grams Diameter:1.043 inches (26.49 mm) Edge:Lettered Mint and Mint Mark:Philadelphia – P Denver – D    weight: 10g Combine orders up to 2kg via courier     MORE ITEMS HERE PAYMENT within 3 days, please else items will be relisted and a SALE NOT COMPLETE will be filed If you're placing multiple orders to combine shipping please notify seller, beforehand to avoid a SNC
