Conclusion
To conclude this webquest, John F. Kennedy was very involved in the Vietnam War. The legacy of John F. Kennedy is based mostly off the Vietnam War. If it were not for his courageous acts during this time of need, the United States might not have recovered from the war and lived to prosper afterwards. We all owe a great deal of gratitude towards this intelligent, brave, and memorable man.
