Senator Kennedy Has Been a Center Attention Getter For Many Years
Education and Contact Sports Kennedy went to Yale where he played football.
On November 20, 1955, in a 21-7 defeat to Yale, the only score to Harvard came on a low five-yard pass that was snared by #88 which was a Senior Right End by the name of Ted Kennedy.
Just one month prior to that, Kennedy caught the notice of Green Bay Packer Head Coach Lisle Blackbourn.
Coach Blackbourn told him he was very highly recommended from a number of coaches and also by talent scouts as a possible Pro Team Prospect.
Kennedy declined the offer stating he was flattered, but he had other plans.
He was going to attend law school and then go into a different contact sport called politics.
Beginning Political Years as a Senator In 1962 Edward M.
Kennedy was elected to the United States Senate.
In the first 5 years he was part of these major decisions: The Civil Rights Act of 1964, National Teacher Corps, Economic Opportunity Act, Bilingual Education Act of 1968, and supported Older American Community Service Employment in 1970.
In 1971 Senator Kennedy became Chairman of the Senate Health Subcommittee which enhanced his ability to help the cause of quality health care for all Americans which was responsible for legislation that quadrupled the amount of money for cancer research and prevention.
Military Protection Senator Kennedy is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which sponsored an amendment to provide money for the purchase of additional armored Humvees for use in the war in Iraq.
He also acted in response to reports that 1/4 of American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan happened in unarmored Humvees and that 1000's more soldiers have been injured or disabled for the rest of their life.
The additional funding was used to purchase Up-Armored Humvees and armor add-on kits for the vehicles to meet the safety needs of American troops.
America continues to pay an enormous price in lives, financial resources, and respect in the world, for the war in Iraq.
America has nearly lost 2700 service men and women and nearly 20,000 servicemen and woman have been wounded.
Since the war began, we've lost an average of two soldiers each day.
There has been more than 40,000 Iraqi civilians that have been killed.
If you take that in consideration to the number of American or percentage of populations it would be as much 345,000 Americans.
In conclusion, Senator Kennedy's beginning was much like you and me.
He played football in college, went to law school, and then became a Senator in 1962.
He has been an icon in the Senate for many years, and his current bout with cancer will not keep him off his feet.
He will continue to be a strong and powerful Senator.
