CHAPTER 21 – MY JOURNEY TO FIND A LOST RANGER 1. Roosevelt, President Franklin D., Radio Address, "The Arsenal of Democracy", This slogan was delivered by FDR in a radio broadcast from Washington on December 29, 1940. The full statement was “We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself. We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice, as we would show were we at war.”
