Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of presidential caches.

These caches will come in a variety of sizes, difficulties and terrains.
They will be placed all across the area. Hopefully everyone will enjoy finding them.

The 35th president was John F. Kennedy. He was born on May 29, 1917 in Massachusetts, and died on November 22, 1963. He became president on January 20, 1961 and remained in office until he was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas Texas. The assassin was determined to be Lee Harvey Oswald, but there is still controversy to this day about whether he acted alone. He was a member of the Democratic party. He was the youngest elected president at age 43, the second youngest of all of the presidents (Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest) and the first U.S. president to be born in the 20th century.

John F. Kennedy gave one of the most famous political quotes of all time in his inaugural address when he said "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." This now seems more like something a Republican would say instead of a Democrat. Perhaps the most famous foreign policy issues he had to deal with was the Cuban Missile Crisis. If he attacked the missile sites he might face retaliation for the Soviet Union, but if he did nothing there would be nuclear missiles just of the shore of the U.S. He decided on a naval quarantine. The U.S. navy would stop and inspect all Soviet vessels headed to Cuba. After just one boarding Nikita Khrushchev agreed to dismantle the missile sites. Another major accomplished of JFK's was to establish the Peace Corps.

This cache is listed as a small, but could either be classified as a large micro or a small small. It is hidden fairly well, but shouldn't be too hard to find. Have fun.
