The Certificate signifies participation in a Naval Training Cruise for Civilians. Roosevelt has signed the Certificate of Service "issued to him [Schwoyer] as a Testimonial of his Fidelity and Patriotism." This certificate was signed during Roosevelt's time as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, an office he was appointed to by President Wilson. Before assuming these duties he had been elected to the New York Senate in 1910; he went on to serve as Governor of New York in 1928 and then as 32nd President of the United States, pulling the country out of the Great Depression through a series of reform initiatives and job creation programs in areas like the Tennessee Valley. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Roosevelt led the country through World War II, serving four terms and dying in office.
