His hard work and dedication made America even greater I'm sure. We need more people like that these days. Today's generation has turned into a bunch of snowflakes who would rather block a punch than take one. And if you lecture them on why they should work, they'll just tell you that what they're doing right now IS their job! (Unfortunately, I'm one of them). Nothing comes easy. And your grandfather was a prime example of that. I just wish we had more people like that.<br />I bet by then this country could really thrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632055767270986594.post-73885755788187606002017-12-23T23:53:13.034-08:002017-12-23T23:53:13.034-08:00I agree 100% with you Richard!

They wanted to work and took whatever jobs there were. Part of the reason that they had the work ethic that they did is because they had none of the social safety-nets like Unemployment Insurance that lasts for more than a year and Welfare that in some cases are permanent for some folks. Americans back then had to depend on themselves and not the government to make sure they ate and clothed themselves. I feel very blessed that my grandparents and parents taught me what hard times are. I thank God for that. Please have a very Merry Christmas my friend!
