35th US President. Born into a wealthy Irish-Catholic family, Kennedy, son of Joseph Kennedy, was wounded in the Pacific during World War II. Kennedy was first a congressman (House of Representatives 1947-1953; Senate 1953-1960) and was elected president in 1960. His presidency will be remembered above all for a commitment to the space program, the Cuban missile crisis, the Bay of Pigs, and deeper American involvement in Vietnam. He was assassinated in Dallas in 1963, allegedly by Lee Harvey Oswald. His grave area is paved with irregular stones of Cape Cod granite, which were quarried around 1817 near the site of the president's home and selected by members of his family. Clover, and later, sedum were planted in the crevices to give the appearance of stones lying naturally in a Massachusetts field.
