No, that was John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy said this in his innaugural address.
However, it is basically a paraphrase of a quote from Oliver Wendel Holmes, who said: "It is now the moment ...to recall what our country has done for each of us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return." From
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s Memorial Day address in Keene, New Hampshire, on May 30, 1884.

∙ 7y agoAt the inaugural address of President John F. Kennedy, in January of 1961, Kennedy made some remarks that were so brilliant that they remain with Americans to this very day. He said, in part " Do not ask what your country can do for you, but rather, what can you do for your country?" Ironically, President Kennedy ultimately gave his life for his country when he was assassinated in November of 1963.
