The collection also contains notes tracking Thompson's income and expenditures over a 40-year period. The greater part of the collection, however, consists of scrapbooks and photograph albums compiled by Thompson. The scrapbooks focus on Thompson's veterinary career and his civic and personal activities and contain such materials as correspondence, photographs, and ephemera. A secondary focus is Thompson's interest in Republican Party politics. Included are photographs of individuals and letters bearing autopen signatures of such figures as Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Charles Robb, and Nancy Reagan. Also included is a Southwest Virginia Republican Party banquet menu, autographed by Nixon, Linwood Holton, Richard H. Poff, and John Dalton. The collection also contains two photograph albums: one (water-damaged) album focuses on Thompson's military service, beginning with an R.O.T.C. camp at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, and continuing through his service in the U. S. Army Veterinarian Corps in China and the South Pacific during World War II; the other album documents Thompson's 1981 trip to China and contains postcards as well as snapshots.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

He married Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) in 1905. He was fifth cousin to Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), the 26th President of the United States. Always admiring his cousin, Theodore, and after earning a law degree from Columbia Univeristy, Franklin decided to pursue politics. He was able to win a New York State Senate seat in 1910 as a Democratic. By 1913, he was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1921) to be the Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy.","In 1921, Roosevelt contracted polio at the age of 39. This illness took him out of the public eye for several years as he focused on rehabilitation. Even though he had \"liberal\" views, he was elected as Governor of New York in 1928, which he was re-elected in 1930. Roosevelt became the Democratic presidential nomination and, by 1933, he was elected the 32nd president of the United States. He held this position until his death in 1945, being the only president to be elected for four terms.","His third inauguration speech was in 1941, during the World War II. The United States still believed in isolationism. His speech was largely trying to convince the American people to move past this isloationism and join the global conflict. Eventually after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of that year, the United States joined the war. Roosevelt remained president up until 1945, where he passed away on April 12, 1945 in his cottage in Georgia. He was 63 years old.","Sources\n      \"Franklin D.

He spent his first year and a half of service in the continental United States, going through training and then working at airfields in Texas, Oregon, and California. He was deployed and arrived in England on 2 November 1943. He served in France from August 1944 to 16 October 1944. He was transferred to Kassel, Germany on 16 May 1945, just over a month after Kassel was captured by the Allies. He left Kassel 21 October 1945 for France, where he stayed until his return to the States at the end of November. He was married some time after his return to the States, presumably to his friend Nellie, who, he told his sister in a letter from 1945, he was planning to marry despite apparent maternal disapproval.

Assigned to the First Infantry Division and after serving in North Africa and the Sicily campaign, Jimmie Monteith and the 16th Infantry Regiment hit Omaha Beach on D-day at Normandy, France. In charge of 51 men, Monteith guided his troops through the barbed wire and mines that littered the beach under heavy fire from the Germans. After getting his men into position, Monteith went back down the beach and lead two tanks through the mine field and directed them to take out two German machine gun nests. After continuing the assault, Monteith was caught in the crossfire and killed. Less than a year later, his mother accepted the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery.

After continuing the assault, Monteith was caught in the crossfire and killed. Less than a year later, his mother accepted the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery.
