Thank you Arnold...once again I really like these "Did you Know " cards as they have such interesting information. This card shows the famous 16th American President Abraham Lincoln..and many interesting things about the man.Thanks again Arnold for this card swap.
.Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of The United States and is remembered for his vital role as the leader in Preserving the Union during The Civil War and beginning the process that lead to the end of slavery.

United States of America


Washington DC ..USA.
What a great card and another surprise from the Lovely Melissa...hank you so much for this great card ..I am sure this must be a new Monument as I never saw this in the time I spent in DC..The card shows the memorial to Franklin Delano Roosevelt . The 32 President of The United States of America,A truly revered President who under difficult conditions steered The United States through the Great Depression of the thirties and through the Second world War . A president remembered today as one of the best..Thanks Mel I love this card and next visit to DC will visit this memorial.

A favourite expression of FDR was " The only thing that we have to fear is fear itself. A man who truly knew the meaning of the word courage. Despite being stricken with polio and paralized from the waist down he emerged a a true leader guiding America through some of its darkest days.This FDR Memorial located in Washington DC honours this man ,  his story , and his beloved dog.
