Kennedy’s inaugural speech was captivating because it expressed a call to public service in the context of the Cold War, using powerful compelling phrases as well as emotional pleas.

John F. Kennedy had the wit and the wisdom taken in his speech. The following content of it would be after the post-war, which ended the terrible depression as well as the harm of the people. He gave a way for the new generation to bring upon change in the country. He instilled peace and for the new generation to learn from their mistakes. He is loved by the people because he carries hope for all those who suffered.
