    • Those who grew up during the Great Depression certainly had a tough time. They were able to achieve remarkable things given the adversity they had to face.

Faced with similar obstacles and tested to their limits, I believe that other generations of Americans would be able to surmount equally difficult challenges and ultimately succeed.
