And I thought it was commonly put out to see to the public during the mid 40′s, just goes to show how our memories and assumptions can trick us.

“the only thing we have to fear ….” ladeladeda (in a nice meaningful tone)
Ran across this last spring and was touched by the story and the sentiment and have a framed copy in my office, thanks to my daughter (b’day present). A useful approach in life, but especially while playing golf.
had to pull out some tape to find the words for GoogleTube to hit on:
Eye In The Village – “No One Turns Away From The Camera”

And the other poster, briefly shown:
“FREEDOM IS IN PERIL DEFEND IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT”
Wow.
