This folder contains copies of records from John F. Kennedy's Navy personnel file. The administrative forms and memorandums mainly concern events following the sinking of PT-109, Kennedy's recovery from injuries sustained in that accident, and his retirement from the U.S. Naval Reserves due to physical disability. Documents of note include multiple performance evaluations, "Report on the Fitness of Officers"; a Transcript of Naval Service; and information on the Navy and Marine Corps Medal that Kennedy received.
