Original PT 109 KENNEDY pin in very good condition.  PT-109 was a patrol boat commanded by Lieutenant, junior grade John F. Kennedy in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Kennedy's actions to save his surviving crew after the sinking of PT-109 made him a war hero, which proved helpful in his political career and helped him get elected President of the United States. Nice gift item. There are several varieties of these pins, this one is the one that says Kennedy 60, and was used in JFK's presidential campaign. 

Historical Notes
The Japanese destroyer Amagiri, struck PT-109 forward of the starboard torpedo tube ripping away the starboard aft side of the boat. The collision tossed John F. Kennedy around the vessel
