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.

League Of Nations
League of Nations was established on February 14 1919 as a result of the First World War. It was spearheaded by the 26th President Woodrow Wilson in his famous ‘fourteen point’ speech. The fourteen point plan outlined plans to reduce imperialism around the world, give colonies freedom and lay the foundations for the League of Nations. The main goals of the League of Nations was to establish international peace and not resort to wars.

Obama’s Inauguration
This picture was taken from the Washington Post. It shows President Barak Obama being inaugurated as the 44th president of The United States. It took place on January 20, 2009, adn to his left is his wife Michelle Obama.
This is an important picture since it depicts a milestone in the US’s political and racial history. From a country that discriminated no less than 50 years ago today we have a minority as our president. An achievement every country should strive for.
