More from FDR
Our national concern for the handicapped and the infirm is one of our national characteristics.
We are a Nation of free people, and free people know how to go over the top- whether it's a Nazi wall, a Japanese island fortress, a production goal, a bond drive, or a stream of silver dimes.
We combat this evil enemy of disease at home just as unremittingly as we fight our evil enemies abroad.
Whatever we can contribute to promote our children's health is an investment in our country's future.
