FDR’s First Inaugural Address
This address is arranged at the beginning of my movie. It is FDR’s first inaugural address on March 4th, 1933. At the time, the US was still under Great Depression. He said “This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” FDR is the greatest president in the US history. Only one president elected for four times. He overcame Great Depression and led the US and the Allies defeat Nazi German and Japan in World War II.
“Home on the Range” (on the left) is arranged at the end of movie. It’s FDR’s favorite song. “Anchors Aweigh” (on the right) is arranged in Play 4 when FDR was appointed as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the US. It’s the fight song of the US Naval Academy.
