An outstanding speech. I was 12 years old and watched on TV. Our Catholic school was closed and we were very proud of our President.

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.

STILL resonates as if written yesterday. Amazing. The very portrait of “Presidential.”
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!

This is why John Fitzgerald Kennedy is still my favorite president by heart
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.
It will be remembered forever 🙏❤️delighted to listen over and over! Thank you 🙏
May you rest in Peace president Kennedy!🙏😥 The world wheeped for you president Kennedy!!😥💔✝️
one of few presidents who actually cared about Liberty !
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.💥💚💦
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.
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.
This address was amazing when I first listened in at President Kennedy's swearing in. It remains so today!!
Truly a man of generations
He was so well spoken
John F Kennedy was one of the best orator among American president & classical example for his outstanding oratory .....
The thought that an insignificant shred of lint like trump also held this office is nauseating.

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
For me one of The Best President! Love his eloquence and ideas , I wish they were more man like him today. Thank you 🙏 John F. Kennedy🥀

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.
I love you mr President! Thank you for setting this into motion🥷🔥

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!!

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
