John F. Kennedy

An inauguration is a formal

ceremony to mark the

beginning of a leader's term of

office. An example is the ceremony in which the president of the United States officially takes the oath of office.

An "inaugural address" is the presidential speech given at this ceremony which informs the people of his intentions as a leader.

John F. Kennedy: Inaugural Address Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief

Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens:

We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy: Inaugural Address

John F. Kennedy: Inaugural Address We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of

that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

John F. Kennedy: Inaugural Address Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well

or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

This much we pledge -- and more. My fellow Americans, ask not what your country

can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

A bay window (pa.141)

Thank you!
