Don't think so, FDR was dead by the end of WW2. It may just be a wreath laying ceremony either during or just before the war. Photo sure looks like FDR there, hard to tell.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

FDR (standing no less!) at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.

However, my eye was on the sergeant standing next to the tomb, saluting. See those hash marks on his sleeve? He must have joined the army when he was 10 years old!

Holy moly! they go up to his elbow!

(Unless things have changed, each hash mark is three years of service)

Diagonal hashes on left arm denote 3yrs service for each stripe.
Horizontal dashes on right sleeve denote 6mos service in a hostile fire zone for each dash.

You are correct.  That was my bad.  I was under the impression that commercial color film was not available until '44-'45.

1907: first commercial color film, the Autochrome plates, manufactured by Lumiere brothers in France.
