ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. (1882-1945). Typed letter signed ("Franklin D. Roosevelt") as President, a message to All Disabled Veterans, Washington, D. C., [November 1935].

FDR's Christmas Greetings to the Disabled Veterans of the First World War. More than most Presidents, Roosevelt could understand the difficulties of living with a disability, and here he sends heartfelt greetings to the injured veterans of "the war to end all wars": "Since I greeted you last year many changes have taken place. Some of you are still bravely meeting the test of patience with the same buoyance of spirit that sustained you in the stress of service to our country. Others have been restored to health and happiness, while still others have passed on, all—the noble living and the noble dead—blessed with the everlasting gratitude of the Nation they served. It is my wish that this Christmas bring to each of you the best of good cheer and renewed confidence in the New Year for restoration to health and the attainment of real happiness." Ten original copies of this letter were signed and transmitted to the leaders of the various veterans' organizations around the country, for distribution to their members.
