-- hoxejen 7/6/2007. My name is Jena Marie. I love my name! 'Jena' also can mean 'white, fair, smooth' in Cornish, 'little bird' in English, and 'white wave' in Welsh (from Jenny/Jennifer/Gwenhwyfar). It is a variant of Jenny, which is a diminutive of Jane and Jennifer. In Scandinavian, it means 'God is gracious'. (Note that the Scandinavian name 'Jena' is for a boy). All other meanings of the name 'Jena' are feminine.
John Kennedy's Military Career (1941-45) Kennedy served in the Navy during World War II rising to the rank of lieutenant. He was given command of PT-109. When the boat was rammed by a Japanese destroyer, he and his crew were thrown into the water.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: He served in both World War I and World War 2. Eisenhower did not leave the U.S. in World War 1, but spent the war training tank crews in Pennsylvania. So, he was a WW1 veteran, but did not see combat. I find it difficult to say that Eisenhower fought in World War 2, since he was a staff officer in Washington before being appointed as the senior commander of Allied forces in Europe. IOW, he did not have a field command position.
