Which U.S. president won the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his heroism during World War II? Correct Answer John F. Kennedy
In 1941 John F. Kennedy joined the U.S. Navy, and two years later was sent to the South Pacific. Commanding a patrol torpedo, or PT, boat, he was gravely injured when a Japanese destroyer sank it in the Solomon Islands. Marooned far behind enemy lines, he led his men back to safety—a heroic feat that earned him the Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
