JFK was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions after his PT109 was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer on the night of August 2, 1943. His father pressured the Navy to give him The Medal Of Honor but Kennedy's actions on that night prior to the sinking were called into question and he was told to back off.

JFK was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, their version of the Soldier’s Medal, a non-combat award for bravery, as my friend got on one of our exercises.
