When you hear these stories. It's amazing what past generations went through during their lifetime. We have it so easy because of them. Thank you Pres. Kennedy for your service. Please help us through the trying times we face now with our country's political divide.
There's another bit of the story that should've been mentioned. In the collision/wreck, JFK sustained the back injury that plagued him the rest of his life (remember the rocking chair in the Oval Office?). As they said, he towed a badly injured member of his crew the whole way & during the days & nights they were stranded he would swim back out a fairly long distance to watch for ships. He did all that with his injured back hurting him but he was determined to keep going & to find help for his crew & himself. The story & President Kennedy's actions are even more heroic when you factor in what he was dealing with as he did his best for his men. We lost someone very special when we lost him. 💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙
He had significant back issues, and other health issues, prior to his WWII service, and was originally rejected for service because of health/back issues.
Nearly one million American troops passed through Australia and there was a large unfortunate group left behind...the Abandoned Overseas Children of American Servicemen. A small percentage are still alive.
JFK and his crew were true heros. Sad that their story is remembered only because he went on the be famous. One wonders how many other such stories are now forgotten since none of the participants went on to be famous...
A beautiful tribute to a fantastic human being 😅John Kennedy. This world is not the same loving place it was when he was alive.God how we need this man today!, Thank you Caroline!,,
@@sueandpatrick Her uncle is a crackpot - look into his relationship with his ex-wife and her suicide. Also, he is a user, putting out ads with JFK and members of the Kennedy family - which reminds people of his ässociation. RFK jr is No JFK or RFK - his family warns him but he does it anyway and he says - sorry. Then they have to take ads or speak out contradicting what he says. Not one of them supports him. That says something, doesn't it? .
Australian coast watcher, Reg Evans coordinated the rescue of JFK & the others. In 1961 JFK invited Evans to the White House where the two reunited. Quite a remarkable story.
This is Truly Wonderful to know, to watch… I adored President Kennedy when I was in Grade V, adore him till the present… GODBLESS his good soul…🙏🙏🙏 Thank You Ms Caroline and Son, Love Love Love…💖💖💖 and GODBLESS You Both and the whole family…👏💖♦️🙏🙏🙏
Regardless if it’s myth or legend it was a desperate experience for all who survived.. 7 days surviving oppressive tropic heat with a busted back and enemy patrolling speaks for itself.
The President was a very strong swimmer, and I don’t think they’d have survived had they not made that swim. If they had been discovered by the Japanese they’d likely have been killed by the Japanese…And, in addition to the Solomon Islanders, let’s not forget the Australian Coastwatcher…
A movie was made about this “PT109” but the whole story has not been told. JFK rallied his men and stepped up as their leader. 2 natives from a nearby island carried a message JFK carved on a coconut to allied forces resulting in the rescue of PT109. The natives, Seventh Day Adventist converts, kept the crews hopes up by singing hymns with them including the children’s song Jesus Loves Me. JFK invited the natives to his inaugural but they were bamboozled by island “officials” out of going. The coconut was encased in glass and sat on JFK’s desk in the Oval Office. JFK corresponded with the natives, acknowledging God’s Providence to him and his crew. JFK’s story has not really been told. Like the last line of the “Undelivered Speech” that JFK was on his way to deliver when he was gunned down in Dealey Plaza - EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE, THEY LABOR IN VAIN WHO BUILD IT: EXCEPT THE LORD KEEP THE CITY, THE WATCHMAN WAKETH BUT IN VAIN. Psalm 127:1 Perhaps the seed that was beginning to sprout when JFK was murdered had been planted by these two natives back in WW II. JFK was all too human, but I believe he felt the same responsibility for America as he did for the crew of the PT 109. Thank you Caroline for making the swim. You grew up without a father. Rest assured he was a great man.
Caroline had several years with her father before his untimely death. The entire Kennedy family surrounding them with love, encouragement and steadfast devotion to keep their father’s memory ever present throughout their lives.
The night after the collision, JFK swam into Ferguson Passage, a regular PT boat route in the Solomons. He swam for an hour and a half, treaded water until he saw flares from an engagement at Gizo Island, ten miles away. Exhausted, the current carried him to the open sea as he tried swimming back. He gave up, still holding his signal lantern, and passed out. The current carried him in a circle, until he awoke back where he saw the flares. He finally made it back to his men. In a life filled with illness and pain, this deliverance from death saved us all, for as President he fought the military industrial complex as it worked to checkmate him into a nuclear war, and succeeded at holding them off at the cost of his life. Thank you, sir.
Yes she is. Beauty and brains. President Truman’s daughter Margaret had both too. Both had/have high intellects and opinions worth considering. They understand history and America’s place in it.
RFKjr. is the opposite of a bridge builder for peace. Be aware that this family has a history of helping and supporting each other - there is a reason why they can't and won't support this one.
@@LJ-ht4zs His family 5 members are supporting Biden because they work for him and get a guaranteed paycheck from him. Kennedy has sued on behalf of poisoned people and for my freedom of speech rights. That’s nonpartisan.
@@LJ-ht4zs And yet they support Biden and Harris..Seems they have no more credibility. JFK if he were alive today would be too conservative for these liberal loons.
Please don't make it Robert. Too many speedballs have wreaked havoc on his brain. And you might want to read up on his wife's "suicide". He is now a Kennedy in name only .
Well Caroline I'm glad ur happy..long time no c soccer game..can't apologize for my first name .although I sumtimes wish I was named after grandfather John. Not doctor harvey. 😊
It’s so interesting how much love the memory of seeing President JFK’s image conjures my own protective instincts for his family only having known his image from when I was very young until today and I wasn’t born yet when he was taken from us. Only a shellacked picture on a pine tree round is what was in my grandparents den. When I was old enough to speak I asked who he was thinking he was one of our relatives! Grandma told me he was our president who’d been taken down. It took a while for me to fully understand the gravity of that event for the country and the world. RIP
@Louise-gg4mf: What exactly do you admire about RFK Jr.? His devotion to his three wives, one of which killed herself? His affairs while married? His stupidity about the menace of COVID vaccines which saved lives? His retractions about race relations that he was forced to make? Unfortunately the elder sons of Robert and Ethel Kennedy are loose cannons and his presence on the ‘campaign’ trail only builds support for President Biden. But I could be wrong, so explain why RFK Jr. is the man of the moment who should be the next US President, assuming Trump is found innocent of indictments and wins the election.
sorry genius, but rfk jr has none of the qualities his father or uncle john had....and his charisma is less then what his uncle ted had ..which was near zero
President Kennedy was a class act. I never remember him saying anything negative about anyone. There were times when he didn't agree and he did so by not making a derogative comment and saying very little. Caroline is setting him up for a career in politics. I've seen him in interviews and unfortunately he acted like an unfiltered jerk, trashing his uncle.
@@teresalegler2777 True, but he’s probably got a pretty good idea who was behind their assassinations. And he probably knows the sons and daughters of those assassins are still in Washington DC. RFK Jr. is a brave man.
@@teresalegler2777 His father and uncle are dead. Murdered. Why do you mock a man running for president to save our country? You really think that Donald Trump or Joe Biden make a better president? Really?
People who knew them, while not perfect, appreciated that they stood for and how they put their all into helping the country, with hard word, in-depth analysis and tenacity. I haven't heard it or seen it in so long. I yearn for this again.
@@darcyhodges309She’s been through the mill... almost killed by a car bomb in London in 1975...she is beautiful and the old expression “She’s got what it takes” applies to Caroline. She’s got it.

Caroline son is not as handsome as john jr.
He had significant back issues, and other health issues, prior to his WWII service, and was originally rejected for service because of health/back issues.
@@elsiecovington8481JFK jr was very handsome ... no comparison, for sure !
He was incredibly brave.
Caroline Kennedy ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love from Poland
Amazing ❤Happy his daughter and grandson could share the experience of swimming such an historic moment. Thank you President Kennedy.
I'm happy to see that she and her son showed gratitude to the descendants of "the native".
It just shows you the courage and strength P.K. and his men had.
Nearly one million American troops passed through Australia and there was a large unfortunate group left behind...the Abandoned Overseas Children of American Servicemen. A small percentage are still alive.
What a great American! Thank you to the Kennedy family for carrying on the legacy. 🙏🏻

Naahhhh

JFK and his crew were true heros.

they are not forgotten by the people who study history. the ones that are forgotten are the nameless but even than there story is not
A beautiful tribute to a fantastic human being 😅John Kennedy.
This world is not the same loving place it was when he was alive.God how we need this man today!,

Sadly, Caroline publicly ridiculed her uncle RFK Jr. because he spoke out against the covid vax - not a very nice thing to do.

What a poignant and charming story. Nice to be reminded of the greatness of many of our political heros.
Correction: not political heroes - AMERICAN heroes from the Greatest Generation. Now we have men that think they're women!!!
What other politicians are war heroes?
seemingly this heroes are in the past.

Do you think the man I think about would have done the same thing to a fellow soldier?
Saw the movies PT 109 a couple years ago on line. Excellent movie Cliff Robertson as JFK. Might even have been on YT.
I noticed Caroline Kennedy is always with her son but I never see the girls around. I guess it's because of sons being closer to their mom maybe.
For me it means follow JOs lead
Anybody knows the name of that movie mentioned in the video?
PT 109
I have been to Kennedy Island a few times. Just had to say it
