Franklin Delano Roosevelt
This plaque serves to commemorate an event of historical importance, when in the summer of 1944 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt visiting the Marine Base at Camp Pendleton, California, on a special mission telephoned the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois and requested to speak with Senator Harry S. Truman of Missouri. President Roosevelt said, "Harry, I want you to be my Vice President." Senator Truman accepted and one year later, on the Death of President Roosevelt, was sworn in as the 33rd President of the United States of America.
