I won a Navy and Marine medal for saving my crew when I served as Commander of a PT boat during WWII.

I am the first president to be a Roman Catholic, and the youngest president ever elected.

I have had four children, Caroline and John Jr. made it to adulthood, and Patrick died when he was two days old. The other child, going to be named Arabella, was a still born. Today only Caroline is alive, John Jr. died in a tragic plane crash.

I have chronic back pain which was made worse when I was in a accident during WWII. I wear a back brace and receive many shots to help ease the pain.
