On Oct. 17, 2024, President John F. Kennedy’s voice echoed across the hills of Arlington National Cemetery as a recording from a speech he delivered at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, on Oct. 12, 1961, played over loudspeakers. Two lines of U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers stood at attention on either side of the president’s grave. “If freedom is to be saved,” JFK’s voice told the large crowd gathered at his gravesite in Section 45, the United States would need, “a whole new kind of strategy, a wholly different kind of force, and therefore a new and wholly and different kind of military training.”
