The FDR Memorial is one of my favorite National Memorials. It so well represents not only the man, but the era in which President Franklin D Roosevelt served in history. It takes the passage of time to best view the impact of a man or generation and this memorial gives us that experience, not just in a single statue or picture, but a space that you utilize all of your senses from his first term to his last.
In contrast, is the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, which (fun fact) the initiation of the construction of it in 1933 (the cornerstorne was not laid until 1939) was by FRD. The monument is nicknamed "Jefferson's Muffin".
It is a tribute to Jefferson's insipration and many accomplishments.
