Being the President of the United States can be a very challenging job. Imagine being the most powerful man in the world. Today, the United States is considered to own the strongest military in the world . There is no doubt that any nation will think twice before declaring war against the United States. However, there was a time when every nation was fighting to be that number #1 on the list and they would do anything to be the strongest. Only one man could make United States the strongest and lead them to success. That man was the 35th President of the United States of America and the youngest, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

With all these being said, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy will ever be an American Hero and should always be
