It was the anniversary of Roosevelt's death, so I went to that memorial too. Several high school tours were going through at the same time. There were gusts of 30 mph, give or take, so the petals were swirling.

The following quotations may be found in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial:

....
"I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished." "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
January 20, 1937
