20. Joseph Kennedy Jr.
This is the point in the Kennedy history where the names might start to become more familiar, starting with John, one of their nine children (Joseph Jr., John, Rosemary, Kathleen, Eunice, Patricia, Robert, Jean, and Ted). John F. Kennedy served the US as the 35th president and is most commonly known by his initials J.F.K., but we’ll get to him later. Joseph Sr. always had high hopes for his children (most of them went to Harvard University) and when their son Joseph Jr. died in WWII the pressure was set on John to succeed politically. Joseph Jr. died in a tragic plane explosion when he was completing a top-secret mission flying over Europe. Unfortunately, it was only two weeks before the war ended when he died at the tender age of 29.
