President John F. Kennedy poses with representative cadets of Service Academies, South Lawn, White House, Washington, D.C.(L-R) President Kennedy; Military Academy at West Point cadet; Naval Academy cadet; Air Force Academy cadet; Coast Guard Academy cadet. It seems unlikely that 29 January 1961 is the actual date for this photograph. One clear indicator that it is not January is the appearance of leaves on the trees in the background. Archivists are unable to determine a definite date for this photograph.
