Franklin Delano Roosevelt with his dog Fala by his side. Note the shiney index finger of FDR, as well as the tips of Fala's ears. One can walk up and touch these sculptures.

"Franklin Roosevelt once told Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 'If they are to put up any memorial to me, I should like it to consist of a block about the size of this,' pointing to his desk. It took more than 50 years for a fitting monument to be erected, but Roosevelt's request for modesty was not heeded. Opened in 1997, this memorial is a mammoth park of four granite open-air rooms, one for each of Roosevelt's terms."
