Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Truman initiating Korean involvement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - President Harry S. Truman at his desk at the White House signing the proclamation declaring a national emergency that began US involvement in Korea.
Reason
This is a very historically significant image and despite it's flaws (soft focus on the hands, fuzzinesss) I believe that the historical significance and the limitations in photography when this was taken are enough to still make this FP worthy.
