Transcript here. Includes the quotable: "ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

Also, Kennedy called for cooperation: "Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us."

1. Unforgettable.

A tremendous moving speech. I remember the speech and that day well even though I was just a kid back then.
