La Grande Observer, Oregon, September 24, 1940 The Sketch, London, England, October 9, 1940
I thought it was interesting to see the different captions the picture was given in the States and in England.
The Roosevelts' four sons - James (1907-1991), Elliott (1910-1990), Franklin Jr. (1914-1988), and John (1916-1981) - all served in America's military during World War II. FDR kept this framed leather folder with their photographs on his Oval Office desk. It was a gift from Jacob Levi of New York, who sent it to the President in June 1943 "with my sincerest admiration of you for your sons in the uniform of their country, and my deepest respect for you." Roosevelt wrote Levi that he was "perfectly thrilled" with the gift. At FDR's request, Levi created a duplicate folder for Eleanor Roosevelt.
