Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the first and only president to serve four terms in office. He wanted basic human rights for all people, and he listed them as we faced the possibility of another great and terrifying war. “Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, freedom from fear”. Re-elected three times and deeply respected, Americans seemed to trust this man who had lead them through such terrible times. He addressed the nation through the depression and through World War II. His words still retain meaning today and our nation looks to his declared freedoms and other inspiring words as direction for the future. The memorial dedicated to Franklin Delano Roosevelt is large and spread out, something this humble president never would have allowed if he had known. The memorial pays tribute to all four of Roosevelt’s terms in office and is a great choice for students and other educational tours. The memorial shows him in several poses taken from photographs of him during the years. The walls reflect his own unforgettable words and a statue of a traditional 1930s bread line represents the Great Depression, during which President Roosevelt was in office. Each room honors his inspiring life and leadership with a stunning waterfall. For a full group tour of D.C.’s monuments and memorials, don’t miss one of the most fascinating.
