Historic Hero

I had a really hard time deciding on who my hero from he American History is, but eventually I settled on Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was the president of the United States during the Great Depression, and most of the World War II. Mr. Roosevelt was the only US president to be elected four times in a row, after his death the constitution was amended to limit the number of terms by two. Not because FDR was a bad president, but because people realized that if it were not FDR, but someone a bit more selfish in power for than two years, it could potentially bring a lot of trouble to the country. FDR had polio, and spent most of his life in the chair on wheels; his legs were disabled. FDR inspired me because in difficult times he did not give up, he always looked to the future while solving problems at hand. During the depression, he organized social work projects that helped to rebuild the economy, during the WWII he negotiated and between the foreign countries to keep United States out of the harms way for as long as he could, while helping factions who were against Nazi Germany. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was truly an extraordinary man, and I admire him.
