In his Inaugural address of January 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy acknowledged the new world that America faced, with new challenges within and without. He urged Americans to work together to keep the US strong, to end human misery, and to seek peace with our foes, to avoid the destruction of both sides. He called upon the citizens to protect their God-given rights and help others less fortunate to obtain the same blessings.

He acknowledged that it was the spirit and strength of the people, not its leaders, that made America great, and called upon Americans to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
