Growing up during the Great Depression, then caught up in WWII, is a story of hardship, courage, and finally, redemption. The G.I Bill would open the door to professional life that would never have been possible to many returning Veterans. It was escape from going back to the factory or digging ditches that would stifle educational and economic advancement. It was the creation of a middle class that was non-existent at that time. The G.I. Bill would open doors to higher education. Veterans would become professionals (teachers, accountants, engineers, architects) with opportunities for home ownership, economic advancement, and higher education for their children. It revitalized American society into an increasing professional class that made this country the most strongest, advanced, and respected throughout the world.
