| Description: | President continues: My fellow countrymen when four years ago we met to inaugurate a President, the Republic, single minded in anxiety put its spirit here. We dedicated ourselves to the fulfillment of a vision to speed the where there would be for all the people that security and peace essential to the pursuit of happiness. We of the Republic pledged ourselves to drive from the temple of our ancient faith those who have profaimed it; to end by action, tireless and unafraid, the stagnation and despair of that day. We did those first things first. In taking again the oath of office as President of the United States, I assume the solemn obligation of leading the American people forward along the road over which they have chosen to advance. While this duty rests upon me I shall do my utmost to speak their purpose and to do their will, seeking Divine guidance to help us each and every one to give light to them that sit in darkness and to guide our feet into the way of peace. CU President Roosevelt smiling at camera. | |
