John Kennedy actually said...

"More than anything, the fact that this country is secure and at peace has been due to the military strength of the United States."

"We have received no encouragement, but we would like the Red Chinese to come into the agreement."

"We hope that with the limited test ban agreement, we might see more progress."

"And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worth while, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"
