John F. Kennedy: Lancer
Former President John F. Kennedy’s killing, was among the most dreadful tragedies in modern American history. And after that devastating moment, a heartbreaking, now-famous interview was given to Life Magazine by former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, quoting her fallen husband’s favorite line from the musical Camelot. From that moment on, the media and soon the whole nation started comparing the Kennedy Administration with the mystical romantic legend of Camelot and the Round Table Knights, with Kennedy as King Lancelot. Lancer was already Kennedy’s code name for the Secret Service.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: Lace
Over half a century after serving in the White House as former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, she continues to remain one of fashion’s greatest notable figures. Her style was popularized through fashion statements such as pillbox hats, tailor-made suit jackets, and strapless gowns. So it’s no wonder why the name of the code was taken from the costly, fashionable “Jackie O” fashion stable. Also, the Secret Service gave John F. Kennedy Jr. an L-themed code name.
