The second of nine children and the great-grandson of eight Irish immigrants, John Fitzgerald Kennedy is best known for his time as the 35th President of the United States.

His parents, Joseph Patrick Kennedy and Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald, are the patriarch and matriarch of the large, influential American Kennedy Family.

Their nine children not only included John F. Kennedy, but also two U.S. Senators, Robert F. “Bobby” Kennedy and Edward M. “Teddy” Kennedy – what this family gave to the US is immeasurable.

Other influential members of the Kennedy clan include First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis; Eunice Kennedy, founder of the Special Olympics; Robert Sargent Shriver, first director of the Peace Corps; Maria Shriver, TV journalist and wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Kathleen H. Kennedy, Lieutenant Governor of Maryland; Hollywood star, Peter Lawford;
