The first thing JFK was most memorable for was his inaugural address when he became president on January 20, 1961. It was 4:00 A.M. and Kennedy was rehearsing his address to the people. While rehearsing he ate two strips of bacon and a cup of coffee. He has been up the whole night going from ceremony to ceremony in his limousine with Secret Service men all around the vehicle (Reeves 34).
