M&R performed a disservice by not listing this medal.
In 1942, George J. Reid (medal designer/minter) presented a specimen to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. It currently resides as a permanent part of the FDR Presidential Library and Museum.
This just acquired specimen for my collection that out grades the FDR specimen.

I have this medal in both copper and a white metal. Glad to get the additional background for it.
