A brief look at the life of President FDR to accompany my West Potomac Park stock images

• Franklin Delano Roosevelt remains the only president of the United States to be elected into office more than twice, winning four Electoral College votes, serving as president from 1933-1945.

• Roosevelt gained the presidency at the height of the "Great Depression" and restored the American people's faith in themselves. He brought hope and promised prompt & vigorous action, remarking in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself".

• He served through the Second World War, in 1939, he began secret correspondence with Winston Churchill to aid Britain's war effort. His personal friendship with Churchill was instrumental in bringing the United States in to the World War & when the Japanese attcked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, Roosevelt directed the nation's manpower into war.

• Roosevelt died in office two weeks before the surrender of Germany.
