John Kennedy actually said...

"This country owes the greatest debt to our servicemen."

"The problem is really one, as you know, of discrimination, of being able to prevent saturation, of having to protect many targets while the adversary can select a few."

"I am confident that whoever was President would meet his responsibilities."

"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.'"
