American History as the “Father of our Country” .

For nearly twenty years he guided his country much as a father cares for a growing child. Washington lived an exciting life in exciting times. As a boy, he explored the wilderness. When he grew older, he helped the British fight the French and Indians. He lost many battles, but led the American Army to final victory. After he became President, he successfully solved many problems facing his country. Washington belonged to an old colonial family that believed in hard work, in public service and in worshipping God. George Washington was born in Westmoreland county, Virginia, on a farm, on February 22, 1732. His first American ancestor came to Virginia from England in 1657. Farming, land buy­ing, trading, milling, and the iron industry were the means by which the family rose in the world. Of George's early life little is known. His formal educa­tion was slight: no more than 7 or 8 years of school. His favourite subject was arithmetic. He studied enough history and geography to know something of the outside world. But he never learned very much about literature, foreign languages and history. At the age of 14 he began to work as a surveyor, making many trips into the wilderness areas of Virginia and Pennsyl­vania. His first military experience came in the French and Indian War (1754-1763). In 1759 Washington retired and married Martha Dan­dridge, a rich widow. He became a loving stepfather to Mar­tha's two children. He was a progressive farmer of that time. In September 1771 the Continental Congress met, where Washington had his first chance to meet and talk with leaders of other colo­nies. The members were impressed with his judgment and military knowledge. He was sent to attend the Second Conti­nental Congress (1775) where he was elected a commander-in chief of the Continental Army. He proved himself a capable commander of the War of Independence. In 178 7 Washington was chosen president of the Continental Convention and later elected first president of the republic (1789), followed by reelection (1792). George Washington died after an illness of two days on December 14, 1799. The nation's capital, Washingtont D. C., was named after him. There the giant Washington Monument stands. The state of Washington is the only state named after President. Many cities, parks, streets, bridges, lakes, and schools bear his name. Washington's portrait appears on postage stamps, on the $1 bill, and on the quarter.

the United States. The youngest ever elected to the

presidency and the first of the Roman Catholic faith, John F. Kennedy won the election of November 1960, but later, he received the support of most Americans. They admired his personality, his lively family, his intelligence, and his tireless energy, and they respected his courage in time of decision. During his relatively brief term of office, less than three years, President Kennedy dealt with severe challenges in Cuba, Berlin, and elsewhere. A nuclear test ban treaty in 1963 brought about a relaxation in cold war tensions. Assassins' bullets cut short Kennedy's term as president. On November 22,1963, the young president was shot to death while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. John was born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, the second of nine children. John had a happy childhood, full of games and sports. He attended private schools. Kennedy graduated from Harvard in June 1940. He then spent some months studying at Stanford University. In September of 1941 he volunteered for the Army and he was accepted by the Navy. He received the Purple Heart and the Navy. His political career started in April 1952, when Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Senate against the Republicans and won the campaign. In 1958, Kennedy was reelected to the Senate. This firmly established him as a leading contender for the presidential nomination. In January 1960, he formally announced his candidacy. Kennedy was inaugurated as president on January 20, 1961. In November 1963, President Kennedy journeyed to Texas. In Dallas on November 22, he and his wife were in the open car passing through the streets. Suddenly, at 12:30 in the afternoon, an assassin fired several shots, striking the president twice, in the base of the neck and the head. The president was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead a half an hour later. On the day of the assassination, the police arrested Lee Har­vey Oswald, a 24-year-old ex-Marine, for the president's murder. Oswald was fatally shot by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. In 1979, however, the House assassinations committee, after approximately two years of investigation, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald probably was part of a conspiracy that also may have included members of organized crime.
