The US President during turbulent eras of American history - the Great depression and Second World War, Franklin D Roosevelt was commemorated by US Postal Administration with the release of a 20-cent postage stamp in the year 1982 to mark his 100th Birth anniversary...

Born on this day (30-Jan) in the year 1882, Roosevelt was a lifelong stamp collector and was more familiar with the tradition of capturing history in postage stamps...  He had a strong belief that stamps had the power to educate, send important messages and shape public opinion...
