Roosevelt, Mackenzie King, and Stimson are shown riding together in an open car at memorial services near Lisbon, New York, in 1940, honoring the dead of the Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Division from the First World War. The occasion was closely tied to the diplomacy of that summer. At nearby Ogdensburg, Roosevelt and King agreed to create a permanent joint Canadian-United States board on defense, a step taken as war raged in Europe. The crowds in hats along the route show how much a public ceremony like this could mean to a small community at the time.
