Kennedy's Assassination | 2013-11-21 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Democrat | House | OH | Tim Ryan | R000577 | timryan.house.gov | legacy | “Today we remember the tragic assassination of one this country’s most beloved leaders, President John F. Kennedy. Like most Americans, I have been a long time admirer of the President Kennedy and his extraordinary legacy. “While it is true that President Kennedy came from a wealthy family, but he devoted his life’s work to serving his country. During WWII, despite having a medical condition that exempted him from mandatory service in the military, he voluntarily enlisted into the navy where he went on to become a decorated war hero. As President, he famously went toe to toe with Soviet Premier Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis when many thought that a military strike was the only way to neutralize the nuclear threat in our hemisphere, but President Kennedy managed to achieve this objective without firing a single shot. “John F. Kennedy wasn’t the kind of man that would back down from a good fight; he was a man of action, a champion of peace, who lived his life with honor and courage, and inspired a nation to do the same. “Whenever I find myself weighed down by the complex issues of the day, such as healthcare reform, prolonged conflict in the Middle East, or a sluggish economy, I find comfort in a quote from one of President Kennedy’s speeches: “Our problems are manmade; therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings." edy’s speeches: “Our problems are manmade; therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
