John F. Kennedy (“Lancer”)
It’s no secret that the assassination of John F. Kennedy sent shockwaves through the American people, and the rest of the world. It will go down as one of the biggest tragedies in political history for many decades to come. After his death, first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis quoted a line from his favorite musical, ‘Camelot’. From that point on, the media called him “Lancer”, which was already the name given to him by his secret service detail while he was alive

Jacqueline Kennedy (“Lace”)
More than just being the first lady, Jackie Kennedy has served as a fashion icon that is known and loved by people from all walks of life. It was her attention to detail that garnered her outfits the most attention, and often these were extravagant, tailor-made designs that grabbed headlines. For this reason, it was decided that “Lace” would be the best code name for her, which also starts with the letter ‘l’, similarly to her husband’s.
