One of the newest memorials located in D.C., the FDR Memorial is divided into four "rooms," one for each of FDR's terms in office. Each of the rooms has familiar quotations from his fireside chats, inaugural addresses, and other speeches, including one of his most famous sayings: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Interesting Facts:
