At the FDR Memorial

Entering the memorial, there were many quotes. "No country, however rich, can afford the waste of it's human resources. Demoralization caused by vast unemployment is our greatest extravagance. Morally is is the greatest menace to our social order," reads one. There are four rooms, each representing a different era of his presidency in America.

The stone walls and stone floors make the memorial simple but powerful. There were many places and statues for photo-ops with friends, and filtering through, concentrating on the memorial, were fun times with friends. The weather was sunny and not too warm, allowing everyone to be in a happy mood. We all looked around at the quotes and artistic touches, and payed respect to our former President.
