Letter: FDR should be enshrined

It is time to update Mount Rushmore with the image of the greatest president in American history: Franklin D. Roosevelt.

His record speaks for itself. Elected four times president of the United States. Never accepted his salary while serving as president. In fact he gave away most of his wealth building Warm Springs in Georgia for the crippled children of our country.

He led our country through a terrible depression in the '30s. He was the guiding light with his great leadership through World War II. He was supported and admired by world leaders everywhere.

He fought for the average American citizen. His many programs were farsighted. He alone was the force behind the Social Security Act. There only has been one president of our country who was a world leader as well.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt should be the next nominee for Mount Rushmore.
