2. Great American President elected 4 terms, pulled this nation through the Great Depression & WWII.

Thank you Eleanor and Franklin! Roosevelt means 'Field of Roses' in Dutch as a Normandy guide told us.

In 1933, the year of this radio recording, during the depths of the Depression and in FDR's first presidential year, the Business Plot of 1933 took place, the attempt by US industrialists to seize the White House under Roosevelt with the assistance of US Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler (1881-1940). Butler declined and testified about the conspiracy before the US Congress in 1934. Awarded hero and later speaker activist Smedley Butler authored in 1935 the book "War is a Racket" about his military participation on five continents and the US industrial and military involvement in foreign actions and wars.
