Franklin D. Roosevelt - National Harbor, MD - Statues of Historic Figures on Waymarking.com

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was an American politician who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. He governed through two significant periods of American history, the Great Depression and World War II. During the depression Roosevelt spearheaded unprecedented federal legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the New Deal; as WWII loomed he was a staunch supporter of China, Russia, and Britain even as the United States remained at least technically neutral during the first few years of the war.
