208-PU-168-G-11: President Franklin D. Roosevelt Broadcasts from U.S. Navy Yard. Standing beneath guns of a destroyer at a Navy Yard in northwestern U.S., President Roosevelt addresses the American Nation by radio after his return from an inspection tour of the U.S. bases in the Pacific. The succession of victories won by American forces, he said, “will make possible future operations in China, the recapture and independence of the Philippines and the carrying of the war into the home islands of Japan itself and their capital city of Tokyo.” Photographed August 12, 1944.
