That was also a time in society when most adults were ashamed if they couldn't fully support their family, men wanted to work, families were willing to do what was necessary to support their country and American Patriotism/Nationalism wasn't stigmatized.

Being a Career Welfare Recipient wasn't a job description back then.

IMHO, many people today are afraid of hard work and don't know what it is.
One of the best gifts you can give your kids is a summer job working on a
farm,for a landscaper or in constuction when they're young.
Problem is there is prolly some kind of Govt regulation, in the over 80,0000
on the books, to prevent it.

do not know about a farm...my grand kids will be working part when they turn 14...they do not have to ...there college is paid for....they do not know that ...but they will work at a Mac Donalds or a Burger king...they will never ever be a professional athlete making a lot of money....they R very fortunate and they will realise what work is and could lead to
