Hard times for most people in these pictures; I'm glad that we've gotten beyond this for the most part.

That generation laid the groundwrok for everything we now have. Roads, Telephones, Dams, Electrical grid, underground gaslines ect. Wonder why our infrastructre is crumbling? 70 years is a looong time for anything to last. Thank you, to the "Greatest" generation! Awesome pics.

Those were great, but where were the Indians? God I miss the Native Americans! Seeing those proud, regal Indians while traveling through Oklahoma as a child....that is something I hope I never will forget.
