Way to go JohnnyReb - it is a picture of 'Runway A [Able] on Tinian Island that the Enola Gay left on to bomb Hiroshima.  It's a little overgrown now--

ExGeeEye - Nice guess, but only close.  It's Ensign Gerald Ford, future 38th Pres., while serving aboard the USS Montgemery during World War II.

It is the hanging of the conspirators found guilty in the Lincoln assassination.

Among them was Mary Surratt so perhaps having a woman hanged or hanged with a group of men?

Got to give it to ya Opfor6 - Don't know about the hat, but the kid on the left is Quinten Roosevelt, youngest son of Teddy Roosevelt.  The boy next to him is the son of the then White House steward.

The only reason I thought he was signing another liberal piece of socialized legislation was because the one guy standing directly behind FDR appears to be smirking.
