Kennedy's inauguration is remembered for his address challenging Americans to public service, particularly the famous declaration, "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." The ceremony also featured poet Robert Frost, who recited "The Gift Outright," becoming the first poet to participate in a presidential inauguration.
