Franklin D. Roosevelt was born January 30, 1882 and served as our 31st president. To me he was our greatest president at a time when such greatness and courage were needed. However, with all he did to help carry the nation through its darkest hours the one accomplishment I see as one of his greatest achievements was Warm Springs.
He being struck down by polio at the age of 39 was forced to dig deep within himself to find the strength and courage that I do believe made him the great leader he then became. It was through his personal struggle with polio and the lives he then enriched by building Warm Springs that prepared him to lead our country.
This is a video showing Warm Springs which still survives today as well as snippets of some of his speeches.
Happy Birthday to a great man.
