[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom grew up in the Great Depression of the 1930's. Each year she got one pair of shoes. They were expensive as a total part of the family income. She tells that she would get in big, big trouble if she lost a shoe as a child or got a shoe dirty. Shoes for children were even more precious during WWII has leather was used to make boots for our soldiers. Shoes for children and adults were rationed in the US during this time. Mom has always worn shoes in her homes. It is what you did if you were not one of the poors.[/quote] These American and affording shoes stories are warming my heart. I think a lot of us forget how tough, poor, proud and hardworking our predecessors were. Immigrants should make an effort to understand that rather than take things at face value. [/quote]
