It was such a beautiful pieces of exhortation, not new, to be sure, as an idea, but so fresh in construction that it became in a flash the rallying cry throughout the world as the anthem of patriotism and nationalism. Nothing is more remembered of all the beautiful words spoken by John Kennedy in his 1,000 days as the president of the United States than this anthem.
“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
