FDR Memorial in Washington DC
Room 3: The Third Term

by Jennifer Rosenberg


World War II was the dominant event of FDR's third term.

 

 


The war ravaged the country. This waterfall is much larger than the others and there are large chunks of granite scattered about. The war attempted to break the fabric of the country as the scattered stones represent the possible break of the memorial.

 


To the left of the waterfall, sits a very large sculpture of FDR, larger than life. Yet he remains human, sitting beside his dog, Fala. Sculpted by Neil Estern. FDR doesn't get to see the end of the war, but he continues to fight in Room 4.
