Search for Kennedy's PT 109

Lieutenant Kennedy was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for extremely heroic conduct as Commanding Officer of PT 109 following its sinking in the Pacific War Area on August 1-2, 1943.  The JFK Library and Museum's screening of the National Geographic EXPLORER film about the recovery of PT 109 includes a panel discussion with Dr. Robert Ballard, Expedition Leader, Richard Keresey, PT 105 Captain, and Maxwell Kennedy, Expedition Crew Member. The panel discussion is moderated by Boyd Matson, host of National Geographic EXPLORER.
