Annapolis, Maryland (JFK+50) On June 7, 1961, President John F. Kennedy gave the commencement address at the United States Naval Academy here in Annapolis.
The President told the graduates that devotion to a life of military service "is the greatest contribution a man can make," but added that such dedication is..."a test of will."
The President said...
"Where there is a visible enemy to fight, the tide of patriotism...runs strong, but where there is a long struggle with no immediate visible foe...your choice will seem hard."
