"A crippled person taught a crippled country to walk again!" A line swells my eye with tears of joy and marvel for a country with blessings to have such a great man like FDR. WW2: "th only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Nameless, unjustified teror."

In the midst of adversity, a nation found its guiding light in the remarkable leadership of FDR, a man whose strength transcended physical and national limitations. As World War II raged on, his iconic words, 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,' echoed through the turmoil, offering solace and a resolute call to overcome nameless and unjustified terror. With reverence and gratitude, we marvel at the profound impact of a leader whose resilience and vision guided a crippled nation to newfound strength and unity.

Eleanor Roosevelt, known for her sharp intellect and steadfast dedication to social progress, embodies a persona that, despite her own position of privilege, treasures the importance of genuine bonds and significant relationships with the general public.
