Tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt was unquestionably America's greatest 20th century president and, with Washington and Lincoln, its most important.
All of us should take a moment to honor the memory of this great man. With the exception of Abraham Lincoln, no president has done more to change America for the better than Franklin Roosevelt. And again with the exception of Lincoln, no president led his country so stalwartly through more perilous times. We literally owe the survival of our country to the clear-headed determination of this iron-willed man. But perhaps most of all, Franklin Roosevelt inspired a nation to pursue both greatness and goodness.
