This is what guided him into a life of great education and some military service to where he achieved the goals of becoming a senator, and later the President of the united states.]]> 2019-06-18 18:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jaccox738/ng79k9luundy/wish/368174278 jaccox738 https://padlet.com/jaccox738/ng79k9luundy/wish/368174874 President Kennedy joined the navy around 1941, just before World War Two came knocking at the US's doors. He was stationed to a PT boat in the Soloman Islands where a Japanese ship had destroyed his. In the midst of warfare, JFK rescued some of his crew members.

Jack and his family were friends with the senator, Joseph McCarthy, and Kennedy decided to not vote for him to be censured while being under the pressure of other senators.
