if we're gonna say happy birthday to JFK we should mention his naval exploits. while in command of PT-109 his boat was cut in half by the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer IJNS Amagiri. Kennedy performed some heroic deeds indeed on this occasion. although wounded he didn't rest until all that could be done for his crew had been done. he suffered the rest of his life from these injuries. the first picture is of Kennedy himself on the bridge of PT-109. second we have the captain and crew with JFK on the far right. next is the IJNS Amagiri the ship that hit the PT-109. fourth is a painting of PT-109 in action with other PT boats. and last a picture of the type of engine powering the PT boats. a Packard.
