Now that this article is split off, it seems like a good candidate for expansion. I think the public awareness piece is especially interesting. Anyone have good sources? Sam 15:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I added photo, and removed request. Dagoldman 07:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Great photo. I made it a little bigger and moved it to the top; if you don't like it, I can change it back. Sam 14:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

QUESTION: "Regardless of the cause, the result was that Roosevelt was totally and permanently paralyzed from the waist down. He could sit up and, with aid of leg braces, stand upright, but could not walk."

I saw footage of FDR walking on a carrier (meeting Churchill) despite agony. So this is probably incorrect.
