I love that you're in Michigan. I've adopted it as my new home for the duration and we're about to move the whole clan to a new homestead here in the southern lower mitten, 3 generations planning on 4 on the same property.
Absolutely right, MR! My grandparents (born in 1882 and 1885) and my parents (born 1914 and 1919) all talked about how it really was. Mom grew up in Dover, England, and lived through WWII and rationing over there. All wars are bankers wars!
I was born to older parents too. They were depression era/ww2 generation .I'm in my early 50s. My Dad was 49 when I was born. My Mom was 38. My Dad was in the Army in WW2 loved Eisenhower as a general. He shook his hand once before the invasion when he inspected my Dads regiment before the Dday invasion. He ran the Army so my Dad thought he'd be a good president.
Thanks MR. I, too, was raised by older parents. My dad was born in '21, my mom in '27, so they grew up during the Great Depression. My dad also flew a fighter plane in WW2, off the Yorktown, CV-10. He didn't much care for Roosevelt at all. I was born in '64, and feel blessed to have been raised by that generation. I learned a lot from the old timers as well. One of my dad's fellow pilots filmed things during the war, and made a film out of it called 'Return of the Fighting Lady'. It's here on youtube, posted by a guy named Laurence Futrell. It's about 59 minutes long, and my dad appears at the 22 minute mark. Check it out if you'd like to see what life as a Navy pilot in the Pacific was like. He mainly did strafing and bomber missions on the west coast of Japan near the end of the war.
Eisenhower was an honorable man. They say that JFK used to call him and ask for his advice from time to time, they had become good friends even though they were from different political parties. Great video, interesting topic. 👍
In Pennsylvania the CCC camps used a lot of local boys. They were worked hard,but better food then some would get at home. As a kid head many stories but the camps
I sure am glad I now have social security payments every month, and that back when my husband died, my then-7 year-old got social scuriety survivor's benefits through age 18.
Yes my grandfather couldn't stand FDR.
My grandpa was a poor sharecropper in Missouri and despised FDR.

Yep. Many took umbrage with FDR. Outstayed his welcome as it were. Power corrupts. Truly. Wars definitely seem to get everything going for a while.
Spot on. We are about the same age.. I couldnt agree more.

Very interesting. At least they didn't have to deal with traitors ruling the nation.😞

I remember hearing my elders complain about him... the road to hell is paved (or disguised) with good intentions....
My grandfather was a WW1 vet and he hated FDR. Look into the UCC Act of 1933 and they created a trust with everyones birth certificate.

Interesting video, Modern Refugee! Thanks!
Just like any president, FDR had positives and negatives. The CCC was a great program as is Social Security even though it has been abused
True everyone liked Ike. I have a decorative plate with him and his wife on it
True; Modern Refugee.
