Please help me figure out how J. F. Kennedy was related to World War one. I'm doing an article report during the time and I found an article with his opinion on World war one, but who was he at the time?! Thanks.

He was born in 1917, so any article by him on WW I would be done as an historian. See the below link for more info.

With World War I nothing he wasn't born until May, 1918.
He was a Naval Officer in World War II though. Commanded a PT Boat in the South Pacific. Called PT-109.

John grew to become into extremely his father's 2d determination for president. The relatives had pinned their hopes on older brother Joe, yet Joe grew to become into killed in that war. John, meanwhile, commanded boat, PT-109. The boat grew to become into cut back in 2 by using a Japanesese Destroyer off the Solomons. Kennedy farther injured an already frail back.

In 1955, JFK (a U.S. Senator then) wrote a book titled "Profiles in Courage", profiling eight U.S. senators who crossed party lines and/or defied the public opinion to do what they felt was right and suffered severe criticism and losses in popularity because of their actions. One of the eight senators profiled was George William Norris (1861-1944), who was one of only six senators to vote against the declaration of war on Germany in 1917.

He was born 29 May 1917, right after the U.S. entered WWI (April, 1917). He was, however, involved in WWII on a P.T. boat, hurt his back and became a hero. (you can rent the movie, 'PT109' or check it out on the web.) JFK was well read, which is why he would have given his opinion on the subject.

There is no connection. He was in World War II and was a PT Boat pilot (PT 109) which sunk and he saved crew memberes. There is no connection with WW I at all.
