You should definitely write a book. I would be your first buyer. I love stories from that time, all the times for hard it seems like people kept their values. For the most part, as well as they could. They’re not called the greatest Generation for nothing.
They endured so much. Some of the stories are rough. There was much evil in those days also, but like you said, the family units were strong.
They were the greatest generation because of what they endured. They spared us baby boomers from adversity and our generation has let them and America down.
