John F. Kennedy attended Princeton University for six weeks before enrolling at Harvard College, where he wrote a thesis paper that was later published as a best-selling book. During World War II, Kennedy served in the Navy and was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroically rescuing his crew after their boat was ambushed by the Japanese, despite reinjuring his chronic back pain. As president, Kennedy created the Peace Corps and dealt with events like the Bay of Pigs Invasion, space race, civil rights movement, and Cuban Missile Crisis, making him the youngest person elected and died while in office.
