EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures a powerful moment in American history. Taken in Arlington, Virginia in 1940, it shows President Franklin Roosevelt during a Memorial Day ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The image depicts Major Horace B. Smith placing a wreath on behalf of the President, honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable as FDR stands with his hand over his heart, paying tribute to fallen soldiers. Surrounding him are other military personnel and dignitaries, forming a somber group that reflects the weight of their shared responsibility. The Arlington National Cemetery serves as a poignant backdrop for this scene, its tombstones and crypts symbolizing countless lives lost in service to America. The photograph's black and white composition adds an air of nostalgia and reverence to this historic moment. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of FDR's leadership during World War II but also of the collective memory that binds us together as Americans. It serves as a reminder that freedom comes at great cost and should never be taken for granted. This print is more than just an image; it is a testament to bravery, sacrifice, and remembrance – timeless qualities that continue to shape our nation today.
