    Caroline Kennedy, U.S. Ambassador to Australia and daughter of John F. Kennedy, attends the anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal at the Guadalcanal American Memorial in the Solomon Islands, Aug. 7, 2022. The ceremony commemorated the 80th anniversary of the battle, and served to honor the fallen and strengthen the U.S. relationship with the Solomon Islands and other Pacific allies and partners. Almost seven months after the battle, John F. Kennedy, then a patrol torpedo boat captain, was rescued by Eroni Kumana and Biuku Gasa, islanders serving as coast watchers for the Allies, after his boat was capsized by an enemy destroyer.
