Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The record will show that from almost the first minute of this Administration—I started to rebuild the United States Navy."

"The most important fact in our national life today is the essential fact of eleven million young Americans in our armed forces."

"I can speak as one who knows something of the feelings of a parent with sons who are in the battle line overseas."

"I want to express the conviction that the greatest of our past American heroes... would consider themselves honored to be associated with our fighting men of today."
