“the man who was almost a man” contributes to the overall meaning of the story. provide specific textual evidence to support your response.

First, specific evidence for sacrificing oneself for the greater good of humanity comes directly from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address. In this speech he say's "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". He gave this speech on January 20, 1961 in Washington. This is him trying to convince the American people to do great things that will impact the country as a whole, like join the military. His argument is very convincing because it put hope in the American people's heart and made everyone check themselves. After winning the presidential election and giving his inaugural address, most Americans supported Kennedy and he was able to get a high approval rate. This argument is very convincing because the people knew that these words coming from Kennedy were genuine. In today's world his request is being fulfilled because we have a rise in police employments, more military personnel joining, and just more pride in the country
