        @BeschlossDC @BretBaier FDR was such an extraordinary hero. He bravely wore these braces to champion the appearance of a healthy man.

        @BeschlossDC Was FDR able to walk at a young age without braces, did he get polio later in life?

        @BeschlossDC Irony of history. A man with leg braces in a wheelchair defeated the architect of the "master race".
