Born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, Kennedy brought a youthful energy and an inspiring vision to the nation. He is best known for his charismatic leadership, his commitment to public service, and his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy's presidency was tragically cut short by his assassination on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, but his legacy as a visionary leader and an advocate for progress and peace endures.
